In 1939 I was evacuated to a Girls school in Wylam. While I was there I very rarely left the house. The only time I left the house was to visit soldiers in hosptials and to go to the village to get my sweet rations for the week. living on rations wasn't that bad. i really couldn't complain becuase the people who owned the school were kind enough to take me into the school. things like bread, cheese, meat, milk and sweets were rationed. i never actually saw my ration book the people who looked after us kept them. nothing ever happened to the school it wasn't bombed or raided. I had a very nice life there as i wasn't put in any danger. when i got home our house had been bombed so wer had to move to some flats which i didn't like. My mother bought a new house which was better than the flats. also when I got home my mother was expecting another child and i had to look after the baby once it had been born. my father had also returned from war safe apart from he suffered from shell shock and had to be taken to hospital.he was ill for a long time.
