What Naut said. People went through those kind of things alone then, it seems. These are great memories, Pat_B - and your writing is turning them into great stories.

I have to go back and read the last post now, I'm outta the loop. This sounds kind of sad thinking of what your mum had to do, she was one gutsy lady and raised some too.Lovely post

One had to be tough Pat, this does not seem possible but I know it was and far worse for a lot of folk. It would be ok to do this on here from the begining when you finish.
