It was not long after we moved to Bordesly Green in Birmingham when the blitz came again.
The houses were blown up across the road from us. We had a blitz shelter made of iron in our front room where we would all get into on the nights of the bombing. Well, one evening when we were due for another air-raid, the sirens sounded. Hurridly, Mum and Dad carried my sister and I down stairs into the shelter. Mum's sister was just on her hands and knees getting in, when there was a bomb attack outside. That's when it blew our door step off.
When they blew the houses up, there was a dear old deaf lady that lived a few doors away. Well, while all this was taking place, she was taking a bath in the old tin bath in her living rom. She was completely ignorant of the fact of what was going on outside.
