GOOD FOOD?: It is good supermarkets are starting to provide organically-grown food. However, I would like readers to look closely to see where these crops are grown. As a pensioner who lived in Kent during the Second World War, I have memories of queueing at the nursery for the first tomatoes, of keeping chickens in the garden and growing vegetables. In light of the trauma with threats to our aircraft and the crisis with oil supplies, we should be looking at how we can support our own food producers. We need to think of our children.

MEMORIES OF WAR: The viaduct at Horton Kirby holds memories for me. From 1943 onwards, my husband worked under the viaduct on secret war work and was employed by Vickers Armstrong. The whole area was camouflaged and it was not seen from the air. It escaped the bombs that were dropped around the Dartford area as it was so well hidden.
