Childhood

A Memory of Brentwood.

I was born at Rosemead Ongar Road Pilgrims Hatch in 1942.Nearly opposite Dazleys shop, we were bombed in 1945 and went to Lowestoft for some months before returning to Pilgrims Hatch, I went to convent school in Brentwood.
I often wonder if Rosemead is still a family home.
We had an idyllic childhood and in summer months loved to help farmer from Caldcott Farm, John Widdison with his harvest and remember riding home on a haycart at the end of the day.
My parents were also friendly with Mr Harris from Days Farm, and Austin Balls of Moat House, Crow Green Road and we spent many happy days there.
St. Paul's Church Bentley, another place of happy memories, Rev.Derek Irons Christened me there and I went on to sing in the choir.
