A couple from Eastleigh, who were separated by World War Two, wrote each other 700 love letters between 1942 and 1945. Jim Reynolds was involved in the D-Day campaign and his wife Nellie worked at a shop in Eastleigh. Their letters tell of blackouts, bombings and rations. Their son Neil kept all their letters, which have now been published and edited by Isle of Wight author Cheryl Mays. Neil and Cheryl spoke to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent's Chris Jarvis.
