We lived at Wade鈥檚 Cottage during the war. Our water supply came from a well set into the bank of a hill. There were troops training in the area, and during one night a live shell was fired and the casing was found the next morning in the well. I didn鈥檛 hear anything but my mother said she heard the gun during the night.

Because we lived in the country, we were insulated against most of the war. There was a wooden box that my mother used to fill with about four dozen eggs, wrapped in newspaper, and then sent it down to our cousins in Glasgow.

We still had to have our gas masks though, and our ration books, and identity card.
