I was doing a weekly bake in the kitchen when my grandchild came to my house and said "nan have you not heard the news..." knowing the telly is never on through the day in our house (I listen to the king when baking and doing house chores) he said the twin towers have been attacked by terrorists (not knowing anything for sure just a childs enthusiasm) my immediate thought was it is his overactive imagination surely I would have seen chaos in the streets if this was true, but he was surely right about one thing the towers had been attacked and my shock was seing this happening on tv and as said in an earlier thread I was releaved that this was'nt a world attack having been a child through WWII it brought back alot of memories that had been hidden deep for many years by all born at the time, the rations ect I went to the country during WWII to live with my Uncle Rueben and Aunt Betty but missed my parents dearly and would not wish another war like that on any generation. Alot of women in Accrington lost Husbands, sons (both) and it was a very depressing time for everyone and this sadness lingered for alot of years after and still does for some of us.
