13th April 1941

At 11.30pm last night 3 bangs immediately, almost at the same time the all clear sounded. was just getting my feet back into bed when 3 more bangs sounded and Daddy who had gone into garden saw 3 flashes in the sky. So far we have not heard explanation of the mystery. Our milkman is a special constable and usually can give one the previous night's news. hope to go to church this Sunday morning for Easter Sunday, if Hitler permits and the sirens do not go. Milkman just been, said it was airport and coast bombs fell on. When Daddy asked how it was all clear sounded at the precise moment he replied "Oh he was a smart bloke and was just waiting for it!" Could not have imagined that under the circumstances people could keep up their spirits like they do. There is no doubt about it, the English are a calm race.
