EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in December 1935, showcases a heartwarming scene of an old man accompanied by two children strolling through the picturesque countryside. The trio embarks on a mission to collect holly, their faces beaming with excitement as they explore nature's winter wonders. This timeless image from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office encapsulates the essence of rural life during the 1930s. The elderly gentleman leads the way down a narrow lane adorned with frost-kissed trees and quaint cottages peeking through the misty air. With each step, he imparts wisdom to his young companions while cherishing their innocent curiosity. The girls, bundled up in warm coats and scarves, eagerly follow his lead along a footpath that winds its way towards an enchanting gate. As Christmas approaches, this snapshot captures not only a simple country stroll but also embodies the spirit of community and tradition. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when gathering natural decorations for festive celebrations was cherished family activity. Preserved within this historical photograph lies an unspoken narrative that transcends time; it invites us to reflect on our own connections with loved ones and nature's beauty during wintertime. Let this image transport you back to an era where joy could be found in even the simplest moments – walking hand-in-hand amidst nature's embrace.
