I Wasn't A Evacuee But I Spent A Month Here

Alf

Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
In 1941/42 We went with Mom,Gran & my Cousin Betty to stay at this lovely Village in Dorset on a Farm.:)
It was arranged by my Dad who was stationed near and as its near Christmas I thought this a nice photo to post.

Hi Jean - It was Evershot which I'd never heard of but they've got a nice little website. Just looked on GoogleEarth, but can't see Alf's farm.

Alf that place looks beautiful:)you have got to tell us the rest now..as a kid i would never have thought that there were places like that
 
Ive been back twice since one in 1964 & again in 1992 when I was invited in to the place by the owner Maggie

Oldmowhawk and Alf will ask my daughter in laws parents if they know of it as they are up from Dorset for a few days. Jean.
 
No and its the time we spent there if it had been a few days I may have forgot it but it was over a month but my Sister and myself had meales while we were there, more on that later.

I'm just working on the photos I took as they are to large I forgot to edit them.:D

Here's one for the ladies they filmed TV dramas there over the years

Alf, That is the most lovely cottage i have seen, perfect for a Cadburys Chocolate Box before the foreign vultures get their claws on the company. Len.
