My parents had elected to stay, my father was a tomato grower and it was of course the middle of a crop, and my parents were, my father was 40, so perhaps the decision wasn’t as difficult as with some. My brother was five and I was three, so effectively we hadn’t really started school and we didn’t have the same sort of pull as others. And within our locality, which is near the Island Scout Headquarters where now it’s packed with houses but then there were very few, people in that locality actually stayed.
