"In the kitchen a spare car battery and a headlamp bulb give enough light to work in, as water for the tea is boiled in an antique copper kettle on a picnic stove during a power cut in 1970. The battery is charged when the power returns". This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1970s, offering a glimpse into everyday life during that era. In this particular moment captured within the confines of a kitchen, we witness resourcefulness at its finest. During an unexpected power cut, where darkness enveloped homes and left inhabitants feeling helpless without electricity, ingenuity prevailed. A spare car battery and a humble headlamp bulb were ingeniously repurposed to provide just enough illumination for essential tasks. Their soft glow casts intriguing shadows across the room as someone attends to their duties with unwavering determination. In one corner of this quaint kitchen stands an antique copper kettle atop a trusty picnic stove. Despite being devoid of modern conveniences like electric kettles or stovetops fueled by gas or electricity, this resilient household finds solace in tradition and adaptability. As they patiently wait for their cuppa amidst flickering lights, it's evident that these individuals have embraced resilience in times of adversity. They find comfort knowing that once normalcy returns with restored power supply, their makeshift lighting solution will be recharged alongside it – ready to serve them again if needed. This photograph not only captures an intimate moment but also serves as a testament to human
