I used to live with me Grandma. Actually I was brought up by me Grandma because I was born before me mother got married. I was brought up thinking that my Grandmother was me mother and that me mother was me sister. And when the bombing started I used to sit on a set of steps with me Grandma because she was scared. I tried to get her to go down to the shelter but she wouldn't. I was just a kid meself wasn't I. She wouldn't go down the shelter and I wouldn't leave her. You could hear them coming and you could tell they wasn't ours. I even recognised the planes by the engine sound. It was like a drone. Sometimes you had to stay all night in case they came back.
