BLACKOUT FABRIC BECAME A HORSE. I remember Miss Emily Saunders and her lovely shop.    I so loved our trips to see her to get my sweet ration for the week;   Doctor Edwards who looked after us so well and was always kind and helpful;  and my mother making a pantomime horse costume from old faded wartime blackout fabric and we often entered the Fancy Dress parade at Speen Fete.
