Whilst we were taking photographs one of the ladies of the WI brought Lois a box of supplies from the Salvation Army.

"I love these Sally Anne boxes" exlaimed Lois. "They often have really good stuff in em, see all the ladies in the posh ouses give their stuff away and its ardly been used, I guess they see it as doing their bit for the war"

As you can see from our next pictures Lios did indeed find a truly marvelous dress in cerise with white polka dots.

"This ere dress goes perfectly with my dotty shoes that George got me before e was drafted. They are my most prized possession. They cost im nearly a months wages".

We then escorted Lois into the house to survey the damage and to get her first reaction

"Bleeding heck" She said "We were lucky weren't we? good job no one was in the ouse",

"oh crap!"

Whilst picking through the rubble Lois had laddered her stockings

"This was my last pair, I used up the last of me ration coupons on these ones, oh well Im sure them nice GI's will ave some for me"referring to the local American GI's that are stationed in nearby barracks.

"Me Dad says they are over-sexed, over-paid and over ere, but anyone that can get me stockings during rations and fancy chocolates and fruit from far off lands can't be all that bad can they? Plus they do ave cute accents ave you eard em talk?"

Well we leave our Lois here amongst the rubble and head back to the offices. She assures us that a friend will put her up for a few nights until she can get down to her family in St. Ives. We wish you luck Lois and hope you and your family stay safe throughout the war...
