“All over after another standing ovation at The Dig For Victory Festival. What an incredible journey One Evacuee has been. Organisers loved it. Has audience of about 150 and lots of other onlookers. People said we should be touring all the 'victory' festivals. Lots of amazing compliments.”

Amusing today. In a school where they’d had to do costume design for ILYM & one lad had done a very elaborate one complete with assisted walking stick because I must be so old… and a flat cap! 😂. They wanted to differentiate me from Dans friends & relatives by age!

I was young once!
