Early childhood

As a small child in the 1940's my brother and I were looked after by a girl called Thirza. My Grand mother who was our main carer, lived in a village in North Notts. called Lound. For whatever reason ( I know not ) Thirza stopped looking after us. Some 50 odd years later I was competing In an archery tournament near Lound and decided to stay in a hotel about 2 miles from Lound. Before dinner I went down to a deserted bar for an aperitif and started chatting to the young lady behind the bar. In the course of our conversation she asked me what I was doing in the area. I told her about the archery the next day, and that I'd spent that day looking around Lound and the places that I remembered from my early childhood. She then said that her Mothers best friend was called Thirza who had had a job in Lound during the war looking after two little boys - and had left Lound when the electricity was connected to the village. Because Thirza is such an unusual name I left my phone number with the girl behind the bar. 10 days later I got a telephone call from the very same Thirza. Mike
