At the outbreak of war I was 9 years old and living in rural Suffolk right on the coast. My father was a Prison Officer working at the newly-opened Holleslay Bay Borstal Colony - it is now a prison and has been in the news recently as the place where Jeffrey Archer was incarcerated. The area was classified as "safe" in 1939 and crowds of evacuees from London's East End descended on the village. The village school had to be shared between us, the evacuees attending in the mornings and the village children in the afternoons. This was the time of the "Phoney War", when nothing seemed to happen, and many of the children drifted back to London in the first few months. By Christmas the school was fully integrated and we made some good friends among the evacuees who stayed. Country life was very strange to them and it was an intriguing experience for children of both groups to explore each other's lives.
