My name鈥檚 Lucy Wynne and I鈥檓 78.
I remember going under the stairs. Four of us used to squash in. We used to do a lot of knitting in those times. We spent most of our time under the stairs, really.
We didn鈥檛 have a lot to eat either, did we, because of rationing. When we used to have an apple, we鈥檇 share it between five of us.
The nearest bomb that dropped was in Pontblyddyn, and I lived in Leeswood. That was a long way from us. That hit by somewhere by the River Alyn. It didn鈥檛 kill anybody, I don鈥檛 think.
An airplane came down in Pontblyddyn too. A German bomber. The German died: it came straight down. We went looking for pieces of the plane, to keep for souvenirs.
