<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 708882, member: 164"]What LOVELY pics of your Grandfathers .. so handsome and strong !! .. Canada IS very beautiful Bou, but part of my heart is always in England .. I even remember the names of all the streets where I lived. My memories of the war years are very fleeting as I was born smackdad in the middle of it ... but I do remember the blackout curtains as we still had them up for some time after it was over. My father and some uncles built a dugout shelter in our back garden .. it was basically a deep hole with steps leading down .. a bomb would have blown it to bits and everyone in it .. after the war it was partially filled in and then made into a lovely goldfish pond. When I left my beloved England the huge dugout shelter that was built on the school grounds was still there .. this was in 1957, there was still shelters dotted all over the place. I love Canada but England always pulls at my heartstrings, I will return and soon I hope. If you find any Dolly Mixture Bou I will gladly pay for them AND the shipping cost .. my mouth waters just thinking of them .. memories are flooding my mind right now and will rest with a cuppa Cha .. Love Joy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
