When I was 10 years of age, my sister and i were evacuated to Ebley and we stayed with a friend of an aunt. She was extremely strict. She made us go to chapel three times on a Sunday but after six months my mother came to live with us, and we had a flat about a grocery shop. I went to the local school and we used to do concerts and the parents used to come and we used to charge a small amount and give it to the war effort. One day we were doing a concert and I was singing the White Cliff of Dover and part of the shed fell on top of my head. This stopped me in my tracks. We used to come home to dad who was working on the dock as a foreman shipwright about once a month on the train. We used to go into Stroud to the cinema and see Shirley Temple. We used to go down on the river and play games. We stayed there for two years.
