Adele and the children have been home for nearly three weeks and their parents had been to stay but had returned to London for a youth meeting their father was to take at Church. After the big bombings of London began, he had travelled to London to check on them after hearing no news and found them ready to leave, with the house on the corner of their road 'blown to bits'. Their parents were now staying with them in Cambridge which, apart from the occasional alarm, was so far spared from the bombings. He is doing a fair amount of work at Regional Headquarters, allowing regular officials to take leave. His work involved passing on messages about unexploded bombs to bomb disposal units, who were removing many, including one from St Paul's. With envelope marked 'Fetching parents away from London in middle of raid'.
