I was five when war broke out and eleven when it ended. During this time I lived on a farm with my parents, 3 brothers and 1 sister, in rural Shtterford near Kidderminster. We had the time of our lives during the war, we were hardly affected by the rationing becuase we grew and produced much of our own food. We had a deal with the local baker as we used to get stale bread from him to feed our pigs. However, sometimes the bread was quite fresh so we would use it for ourselves instead. We ended up giving the baker rashers of fresh bacon in return for fresh bread!
