blade too long
we go again
my mother had my eldest brother in an air raid shelter, shes one of the women of steel , whos statue is outside city hall nowOn a brighter note, I once asked my Gran what it was like in the blitz - she told me that the loudest explosion she heard was when an anti-aircraft battery near the Botanical Gardens accidentally shot down a nearby barrage balloon.
shes 95 now and teetering on the brink due to a catalogue of medical issues, and they wont operate on her as she wouldn't survive anesthetics
but she has an eidetic memory of the war years and regails all and sundrie with them
