St Harmon

Many years ago I was evacuated to the village of St Harmons, I lived with a family called Jones, they had a son - Roy and a daughter Vangy or Evangeline. They were very good to me for the years I was there but after returning to my real family I lost touch with them. If - by some strange quirk of fate - you remember me and are reading this, I still think of the place I called home for those years. Marie.

As a child we would travel from Banstead in Surrey to St Harmon every August, staying with Monty. I have wonderful memories of those holidays and the beautiful scenery of the area. Mid Wales is a truly special place.
