We were very happy on the Farm and helped
By collecting eggs. milking cows etc.we were very well looked after. I think in 1941 we then went to a mining village named
Shirebrook in Nottinghamshire Where our mother was a housekeeper in a Catholic prebytery. Interestly Roy Hattersley Father
was the Parish priest there prior to resigning and marrying his mother.We were billeted in a house on the village market
square with a lovely family named I think
Rowe.We aquired cycles and rode all over the
Peak district,Chesterfield,Matlock,Bolsover
etc.At this point I regret that later we
never met any of the kind families who looked after us so well and I hope somehow
this record may reach their families an d descendants.In 1942 we left school at the age of fourteen and returned to London.
