The winter of 1939/40 was very severe. The boys (strangely no girls arrived in Easterton, even though a mixed school started the journey) thoroughly enjoyed sledging down the hills of Salisbury Plain. They would not have had this fun in London war or no war.

In early Spring 1940 the teachers who had been evacuated with the boys heard that they should be in Paignton Devon, and had to go there. Some of the children went to Devon, some returned home, but the rest, Fred included, were happy where they were so stayed in Easterton.
