For Naomi

[NellieMay]

You asked about my family origins during wartime. Mostly South London, Battersea, Wimbledon and surrounds but some in Leytonstone on my father's side. I was born on the borders of Wimbledon and Merton.

Thanks for getting back to me, Nellie. I asked because I was born in London ....not too far from Leytonstone. The place has changed out of all recognition - and not for the better - but I don't live there any more. Do you?

[NellieMay]

No, moved to Bedfordshire at 15, then Hertforshire when I married, then in 1979 we emigrated (ha ha) to near the North Norfolk coast - very rurally. So officially a country bumpkin! What about you?

[ummmm]

You live near my mother. We should meet up, You'd like her x

[NellieMay]

I'll be in touch ummmm!

I moved out of London after I married, Nellie. I live in the country now - in the middle of nowhere - and I love it. :o)

[NellieMay]

So we are both in the middle of nowhere! Best place to be :o).
