To begin with, of course, we had food rationing, there was reasonable amount of food, but gradually, things we’d been accustomed to went. I know I used to go down to the shop and get the jam rations, you had to take your own jam jar, and there was, you had a bit of jam — about this much, just a couple of spoonfuls at the bottom of the jar, and that was your jam ration for, I don’t know how long. So, as I tell various people, that from then on we had to survive mostly on vegetables, which we grew ourselves. Fortunately we had greenhouses and a large enough garden to be self-sufficient in vegetables.
