My Dad's Diary : Thur 11th September 1947

"Very dull days. Still no rain. Overtime every night.

--------------------------------------------------------

Mother and Winnie leave for Edinburgh today.

Slight rain during night."

They'd have been going to stay with Grandma's half sister, Jessie, in Edinburgh. Here's a photograph of the two half sisters together in 1954, Gran on the left.

My Dad's Diary : Sat 12th July 1947

"Mother moved today."
