Bomb alley kid 27 Mum and I start to go on the trains to other places around Wales ,such as Colwyn bay,Llandudno, Porthmadog,and we sometimes take Gordon and his brother Allyn,as they ar good friends of mine and mums I have had tea with them and they with us, we also go to the cinema together,but I am still not excepted by the majority of the other Welsh kids,but who cares.they are not worth bothering with anyway,or that teacher who still more or less ignores me in class and continues to talk in Welsh to everyone one, so I am not being tought anything except to dislike the Welsh.Good news at last,my Dad has written to say he will be able to come to see us for a few days.as he has some leave to come,this is great news, and I cant wait to see him,its been so long.One Friday night the lady we stay with comes up stairs to say there is a man at the door who would like to see her,my Mum knew all along who it was but said nothing to me,so that it would be a surprise, I hear footsteps on the stairs and assume its Mum cumming back to our room,but when the door opens its My Dad who stands there.I am so happy and throw my arms around him,and burst into tears,because I have not seen him for so very long my Mum is also in tears, and my Dad is also tearful as well its a very emotional time for us all, My dad has two big suit cases-with him and says I can start to open one of them and start to unpack it I start this and find a wooden box under some of the clothes, it is about eighteen inches square and six inches deep, dad says I can open and when I do it has many toy soldiers for me,to play with under them is another layer of cotton wool,and under this is is a perfect model of an Sunderland Flying-boat painted in silver paint,and on the side where the registration No.would be, Dad has put the the year that he made it.1944. but thats not all under the next layer there are two more aircraft,one is a Spitfire, and the other is an American Mustang fighter all to scale.down to the last thing.Dad says he made them from Balsawood which Short brothers use to make up mock-up parts for new bits of the Sunderland,which are then sent to be made up in aluminum metal for the real plane.I really cant thank dad enough for these,but he say its for looking after my Mum for him whilst we are apart. but Dad would say this because thats my Dad,and how he would dismiss it,but I know he really was thinking of me.so I will hang these up on the ceiling but not play with them as I wouldnt like to break any of them,while Dad is here we go for walks,and play Bowles in the park which make up part of the Square where we stay which is { No 15 the Square Bleanau Flestiniog } we also go to the cinema or the shed that they call a cinema,I tell dad that they dont like the English up here, and I only have two friends Gordon and Allyn,I also tell about the teacher who wont speak English so I am not learning anything at school.but I know she can speak English if she wants too.Dad says not to worry or let it bother me because he thinks the war may be cumming close to the end.and is taking a turn for the better. As our soldiers and the Americans are taking more and more ground.every day.
