Taking in all the wildlife, those walks have played a huge part in helping me become the woman I am today, especially when it came to my career as a florist. I was the first in my family to take up floristry, and this originated from my time spent in Borth with your family in the countryside’. Doreen’s family grew up working class, her mother a cleaner for the BBC, and her father a decorator: ‘My mother used to clean the VIP lounge at the BBC headquarters. We left Kensal Rise after I was born, making it hard to originally adapt to life in the countryside, despite it’s perks being away from the threats of war: ‘Whenever Mrs Sharpe would write letters to my mother, I would always sign at the bottom ‘I want to come home’ in my scrawly young handwriting. It took me a while to adapt to my new life’. When the time to leave came, Doreen doesn’t remember it being the expected song and dance you would think it to be after returning home four years older: ‘The train journey back is a blur to me. My brother greeted me at Paddington and the next thing I knew, I was being dragged down the stairs and into a house with a new baby. Some things had definitely changed during my time away’. Doreen chuckles to herself as she recounts the arrival of a new sibling in the house, yet notes that she didn’t find post-war London a place of great pomp and circumstance.

Being so young at the time, Doreen repeatedly tells me she cannot remember the exact details of this experience, which I question if she thinks happens to be an after-effect from the traumas of war: ‘Potentially. I was just so young. I just know that I was so lucky to be taken in by your great grandma. My sister was one of the thousands of children that returned home due to mistreatment. Being a member of the evacuee association makes me realise my luck with the experiences I had across those four years’. Doreen’s voice takes a somber tone as she tells me about the commonalities of evacuee mistreatment, enduring physical and sexual abuse under foster families, scars which still remain to this day. Bed wetting in particular was regarded by some foster families as a symptom of neglect and poor mothering, yet speaking to Doreen, was a depiction of a child fraught with fear after being catapulted into the unknown and dramatically separated from their families overnight.

With descriptions of teddies under arms and the repeated phrase ‘They took us away on a train to a strange place’, it serves as an outpouring of childish uncertainty, uncomplicated in it’s messaging that no matter how many anniversaries reached, being evacuated aged four completely changes the course of your life forever.
