As you may know, I'm a huge fan of period dramas and it's a huge highlight for me particularly in the Autumn when I can settle down in front of the television with a cup of hot chocolate and become absorbed in a good story with wonderful costumes.

Recently a particular favourite of both mine and my mum's has been Home Fires, a female-led World War Two drama following the lives of women of the WI and others on the Home Front. We never missed an episode across the two aired series, and have been consistently entertained by the gripping plot lines. I also really enjoyed seeing the hair and costumes used for the characters which provided a great source of inspiration for everyday 1940s outfit.

Sadly, as of 11th May 2016, Home Fires has been cancelled, but a group of fans have begun a campaign to save the show, including a petition and #savehomefires hashtag, all supported by Fred the pigeon.. If you're also a fan and are interested in how you can support the campaign (including a link to sign the petition), you can find all the information on their website here.
