"Tradition" and traditional values are commonly associated with older people and new, modern aspects of life are usually (and stereotypically) associated with the "young". But as usual, life is not so clear cut.
In York, a new branch of the Women's Institute is being founded by women in their 20s although their is no age barrier. They are interested in the old, traditional values of baking and jam making etc and this is seen as a new urban development bringing people together for social contact (and I suspect comfort in these difficult time).
What is great about this is is that they are also adding a fresh touch of technology to the successful WI recipe with social networking, Twitter and Facebook added to the formula. What a great blend and a way to keep the best of "old" fashioned values alive.
