Dear diary,

Today was one of the most terrifying days of my whole entire life! I had to be evacuated to the countryside because of the war, I really didn’t want to though. It started when my mother got a letter about evacuations, I had to be evacuated! They sent me off to the train station, I got to have a shoe box of things with a maximum of ten things. I packed everything and off I went. The train was boring and I met no new friends but I couldn’t wait to see who was looking after me. Finally I stepped off the speeding fast train, I was here!

 

A strange lady came up to me and told me to come with her, I was weary at first but I followed her with some other children. She said that she was going to take us to our new homes! Was him or her going to be nice or not? We were walking for a very long time, I was scared! I saw lots of people leave before me. A long time later the billeting officer took me to a door, this was mine!

 

The man I met was very nice, his name was Tom. When I walked in he got me something to eat, he got me a luxury: bacon and eggs! I couldn’t eat it all but mother told me to be polite. Later that evening we watched the fire roar. I went to bed after this I was excited, we might have some fun tomorrow.
