We went to Hoylake. The people we went to weren鈥檛 doing it for the children鈥檚 sake. They were doing it for the money because they got a grant. It was all done through the school, and I was sent to Queens Road, Hoylake. They were all big houses and you didn鈥檛 see anybody from the front because you had to use the backdoor. I was there for a week and I wrote a letter and asked them to bring me home. I tried to get home myself by walking because I thought if I carried on walking, eventually I鈥檇 get home. I was walking the wrong way so I came back to where I started. I remember V.E. Day, people were singing and had parties. I don鈥檛 think anybody realised it was all over. They were waiting for the planes to come back, we heard it first on the radio.
