know replied the old chap a little testily but what a hole its made ruined the best bed of lettuce and carrots you could ever hope to see thats something i can begin to un derstand too i was almost in tears myself yesterday for i went across to the allotment having been away from it or two days owing to fire duty and found in place of my two baby marrow plants two brown and dead sprouts a wttr rrost in the night had slain them i sat down on the mound utterly crushed and along came the gardening partner in face of his six feel of bluff masculinity i tried to cheer up fearing harsh ridl cule i was only just mourning the marrows i explained they re dead his face clouded and he sat down beside me i know he satd i saw it jester day and it depressed me for the whole evening tragedy in miniature crazy isn t it but i think one puts so much into this allotment bust s so much hard work and hope the 11 tie sprouting things seem so brave and jolly and its like a tragedy in miniature when they perish any way my respect for the gardening partner increased marvellously those few seconds of mutual grief how odd this account of our lives mus seem to you over there perhaps war seems a long way off as it once did to us in that distant and almost mythical time of four or five years ago we used to hear about wars news on the radio perhaps about china then about some corner of europe and still it was almost as distant as the moon one lelt sorry for the folk concern ed of course but in a detached kind of way perhaps we even had a sus plclon that bad as it was they dldn t feel quite o intenselj as we might fee if it happened to us but that was one thing which just rouldn t happen of course these were the things w lich like crimes in the news papers nlw a j s happened to other people and it has hnppc ed to is strantt though it seeins and pa n and dls comfort and grief and that monday lshness for the luckier ones have come right home its an extraordln ary experience we shall never get that moonfolk feeling again im sure how could we of course there are still a few people even over here who idd themselves along but they re liable to wake up any day just a few who help themselves to somebody eises chair and tell the world how theyd run this old war you know the type the intolerant speculate happily on what may happen to them before long the tolerant regard them as a scourge inseparable from all human communl ties and go out to do a bit of digging to work it off ludicrous incongruity the other night on fireduty i went out into the garden during an alert just to have a look round and make sure that no chink of light was showing anywhere it was a beautl ful night and the sky was thick with stars i could hear planes droning overhead and i stared upwards ex pectlng their shapes to blot out the starlight for a moment great beams of searchlights crawled across the sky i could hear distant booms and in the intervals the voices of ward ens talking quietly near at hand i stood on the steps of the ugly victor tan villa which is now our headquar iters and i marvelled at the lncon- gruousness of it all that house built for smug security and now filled with typewriters and bustle all day and nxewatchers all night there was nothing mondayish about that believe me it was one of those sharp half ironical half- ludicrous impressions which remain as long as anything can be ronemberecl the iron gate and the victorian hedge outlined in black against the pairs shade of the road the pointed fir- trees and above them those beams of light and those booming machines trailing across the gulet of the night and somewhere there were people standing up to it all with incredible courage and patience jjittle ants of humans performing miracles of en durance and bravery not so many miles away and this great lump of rock and earth spinning round tow ard the light and another monday so perhaps we re quite wrong af ter all to feel like tnat about an othei new day its never quite like yesteroay not when you look at it like that is it stewarttown a their july meeting held last week he esquesing wi quilted a quilt made and donated by mrs walter lawson for war
