We sang so many songs! every minute of the day. From morning with our wooden porridge bowls and the smell was invigorating. Till evening when we count our wounds. We sang all day it's mostly what I rememeber.
The photo used in the thumb nail for this video of the two woman holding up the sign. Is a photo I have never seen before or my amazing granny Joan. Please can I be e-mailed this photo.
What a wonderful find! I've checked and that particular photo we don't believe is a part of our Greenham collections at LSE Library, so do get in touch with the Greenham Common Everywhere project mentioned in the video and I'm sure they'll be able to help you. Good luck :) greenhamwomeneverywhere.co.uk/visual-archive/
Conclusion: Greenham common was not about stew and not needing men. It's about the strength women hold individually and collectively. That we proved since forever and they are scared of us. Oh and the nuclear thing...

we just said her name and we were directed every time and felt safe and protected,
My little sister was 4 and we both had to walk back many gates on our own to find our mum again.
I remember being driven in and out of the camp by various men but no man was allowed to stay there.
We sang in the back of the army vehicles as they drove us away from the gate they found us
I had two broken arms also hahah

The soldiers there deliberately sent us to the opposite end of the gates. They had no means to even pick us two up.
I was 6
