Publisher's Synopsis
Pat Yelland shares her memories of experiencing the Second World War, living near to Birmingham, which suffered its share of bombing. Despite these harrowing experiences, she remembers a happy childhood, with parents who were fun- loving and caring towards her and her brother. After a move to live in Bridlington, she met Michael and they married and eventually had two wonderful boys, David and Paul. Michael worked for a bank and their life involved moving around Yorkshire, Humberside and further afield. Pat relished the chance to make new friends and threw herself into each new experience with gusto. When Michael eventually retired, they took the opportunity to travel around the world, taking in numerous destinations, both world-wide and in Europe. Now settled near York, she looks back fondly on her life and reflects how lucky she has been to have had so many experiences and meet so many fascinating people.
