Hook Home Help listens to people’s stories and treasures the memories

In today's visit I changed a bed, did some cleaning and heard about how my client had left school at 14 in 1941 and gone to build planes somewhere near Reading. I heard about how he cycled 12 miles to get there and the spotlights shining around as he frantically pedalled home. He told me about the places that he knew which were bombed and how he remembers the local pillboxes being built. He told me how he went on to be an electrician, installing the wires in some homes that had never had electrcity before. I love hearing the stories of people's lives, the things that they have seen and sharing their experiences. We lost track of time as he shared his special memories, then as I left he gave me an Easter egg! What a special afternoon with a very special gentleman
