We made headlines in the Sunday Express in the summer of 1942. My sister and I were asked to run a student land army camp at Broomhall near Dunfermline. She was a cookery student in Edinburgh and I had just started teaching. It was great fun and hard work, picking raspberries and cutting cabbages and cooking. One of the girls, a student at Aberdeen University had a boy friend in the Navy at Donebristlea, he had flown her up to Wick where her father was a doctor to collect her dance dress for a mess party. A journalist came to look around the servants quarters where we were living and saw the dance dress hanging in her room and this made us well known and gave us quite a reputation.
She later married without her father's permission and the housekeeper and I had to sign permission for the marriage.
