All this sounds very grim and some of it was. But I had parents who cared for me and the countryside seemed a very safe place. We cycled and roamed for miles without any adult needing to keep an eye on us. Pollution had not yet seriously affected the birds and flowers. Farming still was practised as it had been for hundreds of years. In the summer the farmers cut fields full of long grass and wonderful wild flowers and made hay for the winter. Making hay and building a haystack of fragrant dried grass and flowers was a wonderful experience. Life seemed very good. I knew nothing of war or cruelty. Only the ruined buildings in Sheffield left over from the Nazi attacks of the 1940 raids warned me that the world for some could be a dangerous place.
