I remember the evacuation of course. And I remember it was very pretty, the countryside. It was just- We were all taught in a big room, so I was one of the youngest children there. And all the children somehow, you know we were right up to 14, 15 – we were all taught together. Since we were in the country we probably ate, ate quite well. I think that what I remember most about school is missing my parents. And how my parents of course, as enemy aliens, and with the difficulty of transport, couldn’t visit. But I imagine all the children in the school were in the same boat as me because their parents were also- they were probably abroad and couldn’t get back. So I saw my parents when- they had to get permission from the aliens department to go without an area twenty miles – fifteen twenty miles out of Edinburgh.
