I lived in Copeley Street, Aston which was a cul-de-sac and we had tables lined up all down the road, I remember quite a few women in the street congregated in Mrs. Ford's kitchen making the jellies, blancmanges, cakes etc., this must have been the day before. At lunch time on VE Day my dad was in the Clarendon Arms on the corner of Clarendon/Upper Webster Street, and I remember going in there with my friend Mavis, we were 7 years old and dressed in red, white and blue and we were put on the tables to join in the singing.
We had to get our table out through the sash cord windows, and a number of the men wheeled our piano outside and down to a blank wall a couple of houses down from ours. After the tea party, in the evening we had a huge bonfire in the middle of the road. Brenda Barr do you remember all this. Brenda lived next door one to us.
