As a child bananas were unheard of, but towards the end of the war somehow a banana ended up where my father worked and it was raffled. Dad won the banana and took it home for my sister who was five at the time. She had not seen one before and was rather wary of it, but once persuaded to try said she liked it.

Following the war there was a surplus of parachute silk. Mum would buy yards and yards of it from the market and using her sewing skills made my sister and I some lovely dresses.
