I was born in Hull but we stayed on a farm at Mullion in Cornwall for about three years during the war while my father was with the Army stationed in Newquay.

We became very friendly with the couple who lived there, I called them Aunt Lucy and Uncle Petey and when we went home we never saw them again but they sent presents every year until they died.

Recently I talked about them on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ evening local radio show for the West Country and several people in Cornwall including their grandson who remembered them got in touch with me which was lovely. I think there’s a hotel now where the farmhouse stood.
