I was still at school when the evacuation came, and my sister was also at school. She was evacuated with the school, plus my aunt and her three children. My aunt also took two other girls with her, and it was quite a sad day to see them go. I was also wanting to go, but my Mum had my grandmother and so we said we鈥檇 go the next day. But it was unfortunate that there were no boats, so that was it for all of us. My uncle was also left without his wife, and of course she鈥檇 gone with the three children, so we all set house together because of my grandmother, and that was really a sad time for us all.
