Linda Young/Springate/Sharman writes:-
" Uncle Alan was a sort of ghost figure from the war, always in another room. He lived with Auntie Joan and the family as I remember, or anyway he was always asleep on the sofa having a rest, laying down. We always had to be quiet because he was always very near and not very well. I think he was gassed in the war or something and never quite got over it.I think Nana was very fond of Alan, she always softened a bit when she told us stories of when they were young together, but being children ourselves we never paid much attention to the details."

Linda Young/Springate/Sharman writes:-

"Alans wife Mary was a lively old lady and we did see more of her. She and Nana got on .I don't think she was grandads cup of tea - a bit too familiar I think. The only real story that stays in my mind was the time we had gone to Down Avenue for a visit and as soon as we got there Mary said to Nana " Come here, I want to show you; I've got a lump in my breast". As a child this didn't mean anything to me but I think now she must have been very frightened and needed Nana, a good old gossip herself to confide in.

I don't remember the outcome of all this but I do remember a day when several of us children (Robin Judith) were sent outside to the back garden to look at the rabbit in the hutch. This was quite unusual for us to be shoved out the way and left to our own devices and I believe it was because some one had died and the grown ups wanted private converastion."


Joan Mary Bailey

Linda Young/Springate/Sharman writes:-

"Auntie Joan to me was the hub around which everything in Down Avenue revolved.She wasn't bright or pushy or loud or bossy to me but she did seem to have it all under control and no-one did anything without her say so. She was quiet and hard working, always cooking or somesort of housework and looking after the invalids or John who was only a baby when we knew them.
I think she had a job as well in the village and in those days everyone seemed to be making jam or doing the church flowers or making fancy dresses so her life must have been pretty exhausting
