Diary of Phyllis Bethel of Topsham Devon

An account of her travels with her husband and her daughter Marion from Wiesbaden in Germany and the Second World war in Topsham Devon as written in her diaries between 1929 and 1953.

6th July 1936

We had a little English boy, aged to tea, called Robin. When he left his grandmother told him to kiss Marion he did. Afterwards her father said wasn't he a nice little boy, he gave you a kiss. "Yes, she replied, "but he was told to". Then she added, "Hartinut kissed me once (her boyfriend, of same age as herself) but he asked first if I had a cold."
One day Marion asked me if ladies ever became maids or only country girls, like our Katinka.
She announced one day that when the world was first made, there must have been just two babies, a boy and a girl whom the angels looked after, till they grew up and had other little boy and girl babies.
