Dunkirk Evacuation 4 Jun 1940

As we have a cousin in France, we are really worried at the moment.  We do not know if he has made it out of France at all.

In the meantime, life goes on and rations go up and down.  We got 4oz of cheese each this week, which is nice but the prices at the butchers have gone up, so the meat ration doesn't stretch as far.  Maggie and Bill had a lovely surprise yesterday morning when we got up - they had already baked a batch of biscuits with the remains of last week's margarine allowance.  So the Nameless One is quite happy now as there were none to be had in the shops.
