Still working on the letters, Number 149 at the moment! Mother and my father got married in December 1943 at short notice, dad was due back to be posted abroad to Corsica, a few weeks later his mothers house is blasted by a V1 ( Derby House,I found photos on the Sydenham Forum)luckily my grandmother escaped in a homemade shelter under the stairs! All my parents wedding presents were lost in the blast. Mother was posted to RAF Brize Norton, she tells of films she has seen and the song of the moment " I'm sending my blessings " which I found on the internet and played to mum yesterday, she remembered all the words and sang along( amazing as she cannot remember a conversation ten minutes later)
The whole project is helping me to discover my family history but more important is really stimulating my mother in a wonderful way. Back to letter 150!!
