Darkest Before Dawn Episode 22
Maud was serious about them joining the war effort.
Within days of arriving home she’d joined the WVS and bought her uniform of a green coat and dress with a burgundy cardigan, scarf and a felt hat.
“You look so smart, Mum,” Isobel commented.
It wasn’t just the uniform. Maud was sleeping better and the nightmares had stopped.
Tilly had volunteered for fire watching and Isobel had joined the Land Army, and was put to work on a farm just outside the town.
The work was different from what she was used to, but she enjoyed the labour.
It was almost as if they’d never been away. Isobel found it reassuring to see more of her dad.
She’d taken up writing to John again.
They were all so busy now. Maud ran a mobile canteen, and at night she looked after Peter while Tilly was on fire watch.
