"I once met a man in his late 90s who had been sent to Russia during the revolution. This was in the 80s. Who is your best link to the past?"
My grandma grew up in Nazi Germany.

Probably my mum. Tells me stories of her parents. Her mum moved to London and would regularly choose sleep over the bomb bunker then the doddle bugs were being dropped. 18 and picked sleep! I now know where I get my love for it from hahah |

I once shared a hot tub with my girlfriend and a elderly German veteran of WW2. He'd served as a tanky and was a PoW of both the Russians and British. He spoke to me and explained it all, because he heard me talking and likes the British for the kindness we treated him with. Don't ask him about the Russians.
We were all naked at the time  |

"My great great grandmother told us when she was young of moving from arkansas to Oklahoma in a covered wagon."
When I drove through Oklahoma all the trees were leaning one way because of the wind   |

It used to be my grandparents but they are all dead now. My grandparents were both teens during the war which my grandmother from Grantham and my grandfather from Melton Mowbray. My grandmother was a farm labourer and was once shot at by a German fighter pilot who was conducting strafing runs along the nearby railway line. My grandfather had less impressive stories about the war but his best tales were about his national service. |
