It was during the blitz and my mother worked in Whips Cross Hospital. Every night we spent in a tunnel near our home. It was part of the Central Line. The bombing was terrible in that part of London and we were too scared to go home except to have a bath and to make tea. I remember the first night in the tunnel I sat with my feet in the water that had collect there with rats running past.

A landmine parachuted down and landed near the tunnel. It exploded and the whole tunnel shook and we thought we would be buried alive.

We were in that tunnel every night for three years and it was only afterwards that we were told there was a munitions factory, Plessey, at the end of this tunnel.

I married in 1942 a Grenadier Guardsman, we were married for 60 years!
