During one air raid at night, there was a loud explosion near our house.
The family all rushed to the air raid shelter in the garden.
Next morning we went outside to see the damage. There was a large crater in the road about 30 yards from our house.
The only damage to our house was a cracked window; we were told later the clay under the road had help stop the blast.
We were very lucky.
