1939- We moved to a half timbered cottage opposite the school in Sherbourne, earth floor kitchen, no water, primus stove and oil lamps. Water was colllected from a spring in a nerby field. Cows permitting!
Village school was one classroom- taught by Mrs Hemmings.
Village had film shows and war news in a wooden hut at times.
We moved to Barford in the Spring of 1940. After a snowy Winter, I was the only one at school the day of the deep snow.
Father caught trout from a local stream.
In the Spring time I had four fried moorhen eggs on a round of fried bread before I went to school.
