In June 1940 I was ssent to Wales by train with the school as it was considered too dangerous to stay in Kent, right on the coast. It was an exciting journey but after a while I started to feel apprehensive as to where we were going and what was going to happen next. We arrived in the late evening in Crymmych and were taken to the village hall and there we were allocated to families - I was very frightened when no one was speaking English and wondered where I had come to. I spent the first night with a family who lived in the gardener's cottage belonging to the big house. The following five nights were spent with schoolfriends in the big house and then I went to a family in Cilgerran where I stayed until December 1944 and was very happy. I think it all worked so well as the whole of our junior school and teachers all went together.
