I remember running along the Common once and seeing incendiary bombs being dropped, scared stiff I was. I think I was coming back from Bays Corner on the Thorley turning. I’d been visiting Mrs Bay. She had this little cottage and an invalid daughter called Janey who was in bed upstairs all the time. I used to go out there with messages and take things and see little Janey who had a very pale face and was just in bed, I don’t know why. Pat Burt nee Adams b 1929
