 The Gomme family moved into Court Cottage in 1938 or 1939.
-In 1939 our first evacuee arrived.   He was a lovely little four year old, called John Schuter.   His father was in the forces and his mother worked in London and she wanted him out of the way of the bombing.   See [[Evacuees]] for other families with evacuees.

 Next we had two girls, Beryl and Stella Hunt.   That’s when I had to go and sleep at my grandmother’s – her two sons were in the army so she had room.   I quite enjoyed that, for Grandma always had tea brewing on top of the range.   It came out of the teapot almost like black treacle to which she would add two big spoons full of condensed milk.   Lovely!  She would sit puffing on her little clay pipe with a twinkle in her eye as I gulped it down gratefully.
