At the start of the war, every night we used to put the baby in the old fashioned clothes basket. We'd take it down to the anderson shelter at about 6 o'clock. It was cold. We made the best of the shelter and used to be down there for about 16 hours. When we came up, we never knew which houses would still be there.
