5 Apr 1945, Barbara Anslow's diary
Primary tabs
The daily air raid began at about 1 o'clock, it was clear by 2.30 so we were able to go to the Easter Entertainment in St Stephens (during which there was another air raid alarm.)
This was a concert given by the R.C.s. The tableaux were awful, the choir and Rag Dolls dance good, and the fairies not too bad though I started the song too soon ((There are Fairies at the Bottom of our Garden)); Denise's veil was almost pulled off. ((Denise de Vleeschouwer, who was Queen of the Fairies.)) Raffle: the Fortescues won the cushion cover Mrs Kopecsky embroidered, Leslie Parkin the table centre, and a cake. Rosaleen (Millar) sold 9 of the winning tickets.
I managed to get into pale green costume ((made pre-war, brought to me by our family amah when I was in the Tai Koon Hotel before internment; because of rice fat in camp, it was a tight fit now))
