10th May 1941

Punctually at 11 sirens. half an hour later a bomber roared full speed across the house. We all drew ourselves taut in bed, expecting to hear a crash. however some minutes elapsed then came about six heavy bangs. A farmhouse was hit near the airport. As the last lot of bombs fell, Marion sat up in bed and said "What a noise to make in the night' Then she went off to sleep again. Next morning she remembered nothing about the bombs.
