Thanks for this Helen - a lovely read. My family comes from Sutton Coldfield. I wonder if my grandparents knew your dad's friend, Stan?! I find stories of the war and post-war, fascinating.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did...it's such a small world isn't it! And I agree with you about war and post-war stories, it was such an extraordinary time. I can't believe the life my father lived before I even knew him. Thank you so much for reading.
Even though I’ve read this before I cried all over again - so beautifully written Bird xxx
Thanks my bird. x

Just sat here reading this listening to In a Shady Nook on Spotify. How times have changed! Loved reading about your dad bird. 💛
Thanks my bird. It’s a great recording isn’t it. x
This is beautiful Helen. What a handsome man your Dad was; I can see you in him. What a hero. ❤️
Thanks Suze, what we wouldn’t give for another day with them. x
