My parents were both children in the war - in England and Scotland. I had coffee this morning with an amazing woman who also grew up in the UK in the war. As you know, the aftermath of the war lasted for years and when she and her husband (to whom she's been married for more than 60 years), went on their first date, she was in her school uniform. It was all the family could afford and the best clothes that she had.
Thanks for the lovely story, Fiona. Yes, England was devastated during the war with all the bombs raining down on them.
You're welcome. And parts of Scotland. My father was evacuated from Glasgow during the war. he was about 10 - to a poultry farm.
