Wartime Sweethearts
“Everyone brought along what they could to the proposed feast except for those who were members of big families where mealtimes were a scramble for whatever they could get. Frances brought half a loaf of bread and some potted jam.
There were many old quarries, small rocky inserts into the land made by men with pickaxes centuries ago. Their digging had left rocky crags jutting out below the roots of trees and half hidden by vegetation.
The roots of the trees had barely enough soil to cling on to,... their branches overhanging to form something of a roof over their heads.
Ralph had a lot of brothers and sisters and perhaps because of that was the best at snaring rabbits, tickling trout and stealing spawning salmon from under the river gilly’s nose. It was the gilly who looked after the fish in the river, especially the salmon and trout.
Ralph was more at home in the forest than anywhere else. To a great extent he fended for himself leaving whatever was placed on the table at home to the rest of his family.MoreLess
