And Is There Honey Still For Tea? (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
But they seemed to escalate with the onset of the Blitz in September 1940. Several hundred people in London were killed on the first night of the Blitz alone, 7th September, and it soon became clear that my mission of staying in place to be available to MI6 was not a soft option either at work or at home. Chelsea was not a safe area, and the Luftwaffe inflicted heavy damage on the Inns of Court, the worst, which included the almost total destruction of the Temple Church, towards the end of the Blitz in May 1941. Not long after the Blitz started, I evacuated Bridget to the Manor. She did not want to go, but it was the only thing that made sense. There was no reason for both of us to remain in London and, as travel became more difficult and my work increased, it became obvious that I would not be able to devote any attention to the running of the estate. If there were to be food shortages, as was being predicted, the Manor could play an important part locally in growing fruit and vegetables on a larger scale than before, and there were plans for some of the tenants to introduce livestock.
