In the small Lancashire village of Willowdale, we meet our hero, 72-year-old retired teacher Doreen Davis. Doreen spends her days baking, knitting, and caring for her beloved cat, Whiskers. She also participates in the local historical society, where she is known for her accurate portrayals of women from the 1920s during their annual Wartime Weekends. Her friend Mabel, a fellow society member and retired nurse, often joins her as they scour charity shops for the perfect outfits and accessories.
One day, while shopping for their costumes, Doreen and Mabel overhear a group of self-proclaimed "generals" discussing a plan to make the Wartime Weekends a more exclusive event, requiring hefty fees and eliminating the educational aspects in favor of more lucrative activities. Doreen is horrified by this idea, as she has always believed that the events should be accessible and educational for everyone in the community. Mabel convinces Doreen that they must do something to stop these changes from happening.
Vintage Dance Teacher and Artist, Anthony Padgett, has used Artificial Intelligence to create this entertaining tale.
