Methil Heritage Centre

Happening today!

Jade is joining us again to bring us "The Blitz: a peoples story" telling the story of the Blitz but through the eyes of the people, supported by diary entries. One heartbreaking quote from a female journalist living in London (05/09/1940): "How lovely, the day when we don't need to do this", captures the overall sentiment of feelings that were experienced.

The 'Daily Sketch' today: 'Six hundred enemy aircraft came and made heroes of our Londoners ... on Saturday.' How the fact of being bombed makes anyone a hero I fail to understand. The nonsensical emotionalism which some papers are now printing is annoying and disturbing.

There is rhythm in everything into which life enters, and you see it in public morale too. There is a pulse and when the beat is strong you hear war talk everywhere, and when it is weak the war slips into the background - comparatively speaking. While I was not writing the diary, the atmosphere was 'electric' with high emotions, but this week it is more like a damp squib.

The reports from London make me wonder how it is the war affects me so little. We have moved our bedroom to the ground floor, so as not to be trapped by the stairs being destroyed. We have a case + rucsac [sic] in the hall, ready to be snatched up as we rush from the house if it is falling because of a bomb. I have arranged the bed so that flying glass will not reach our faces. 'Then having all things done' - I feel we can sleep in peace, ignoring all the warnings.

F, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, 20/12/40
I felt very sad when I gave up the keys of what was our very pleasant little home, but was consoled by the thought that many of our friends were sorry they owned house property. One friend wrote: 'I curse the day I bought my blasted (actually and metaphorically) house.'

Widowed Housewife, London, 03/10/40
Mrs. B. said: - 'Oh, my dear, nothing will ever matter again, once there's no more war !... Just to live at peace again will be enough to make life absolute heaven, no matter if we're all starving in the gutter and lining up in bread queues ... 'I wonder to what extent she will feel the same way when - if ever - peace really comes?
