    -My grandfather’s sister was a nurse in a hospital in Gourock, Scotland.
    When the bombers came over . . . .and she had a chance to run up to the upper floors and lean out a window. . . She would count the bombs as they were released and dropped nearby.

      I've often wondered since how those families must have felt having to send the
      kids home after having them for over four years.
      That evacuation of millions of kids must have taken more planning than D Day.
      after those years
      our next trip may take us to Cornwall, or the west coast (Port Issac and maybe Portishead)

        You should visit Clovelly if you go through Devon. It's all hillside with steps
        maybe Donkeys if I remember correctly. Been a long while.
        Siblings lived in Redruth.
