Evacuation

I was about 3 years old when I was evacuated to Newton St Cyres from Plymouth. I lived with a nice lady called Mrs Buchannun, I believe she was a retired school mistress. I can remember the water pump in the road. I was very happy then. After the war finished, i moved back to Plymouth. I am 71 now and visited the village in 2006, it was the same as I remember it all those years ago. I loved being there. I have some photos of my happy days at Newton St Cyres.
