I was born at Cyprus Lodge, a bungalow in Victoria Road, Mortimer Common, it has a pond and 2 large gates. My father was in the RAF at Burghfield. I was the only child in the village I am told, we left there in 1945. My parents used to cycle in the woods and the local garage made me a scooter since children's toys could not be bought. The family surname was Welsh. I was also told that the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina was evacuated to the area during the war.
