When I was 8 we were told that Germany had invaded Poland. We had no idea where Poland was so I ran up to the highest point in Sponden, with some friends to see if we could see it! We thought we'd better get some food together so I collected some tins and took them to the play house we had.

Dad was a miner so he didn't have to go off and fight. We had 2 pigs and some chickens. We preserved the eggs in waterglass and when we killed the pigs we kept one for ourselves but had to give the other to the government.
