Romania

Our online photo album of locations mentioned in Lorna Lloyd's Diary of the war (previously blipped in full in the LornaL journal, and available as a podcast series) now holds a photo of Romania. This is thanks to the generosity of  Myceliumme. This shot is of the statue of the Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale. It is found outside the national theatre in Bucharest.

Lorna mentions Romania once in her war diary. This is with reference to the country's oil and grain stocks on July 2nd 1940. You can hear this diary entry in Episode 6 of the podcast series.

Since our last post to this journal with its appeal for more content, we have received one more photograph to add to our pipeline of pictures. We were also pleased to hear from a few blippers who think that they may be able to help out with a couple of others. Thank you to those concerned. We look forward to hearing from you with your pictures soon.

The current list of places that we seek is appended below. If you have a suitable shot - either of a place(s), or something that could represent it (them), please send your contribution(s) (not previously blipped) to h.hall@napier.ac.uk to feature alongside the others that we have been blipping here since 13th July 2022. Thank you!
