I was a small child on VE Day but old enough to understand that my brother and I had been promised toys when the war ended. One day I was outside the house with my brother when I heard my mother rush outside and call for my father - the only method of communication between farmhouse and farm that we had in those days. `Willmar, Willmar' she shouted. `The war is over'.
I turned to my brother. `Now' I said, we can have toys'. `Where are they?', he asked. I made him follow me upstairs to my bedroom where I had a large wardrobe. `They are in here', I said. `In the war-drobe'.
