My first memory of the impending war, was returning from a holiday in North Wales to find the rows of evacuated children lined up, when we changed trains at Crewe.
I remember, as a child in Evington, the Blitz of November 19th 1940. The German planes seemed to be so low, we could hear the bombs being released. We took shelter in a brick shelter in our next-door neighbour鈥檚 garden. It was quite frightening. I was eight years old at the time.
