Two children born, one living and one deceased. "Recollections of Geoffrey Colin Budd: During and after World War II he lived at 'Westaway', Ravensden, Near Bedford. I don't believe that my grandfather owned this house, but rented it for many years after retiring. (Prior to retiring he and my grandmother owned and lived in a house in Bowes Road, Palmers Green, London). This house was still there in 1994 when I visited the area . When I was a boy, during WW II, and afterwards, I used to stay at his house with my parents, Charles Henry Budd and Ivy Kathleen Budd (nee Kindell). The house was surrounded by farmland and I remember going for long walks in the early morning and often in the evening as well. Frequently we walked to "Rosedale", in the hamlet of WIldon, where Aunts Barb and Mary Harrison lived with Uncle Tom (their brother, I think). Tom was blind in one eye, caused, he said by an infection after his eye was pierced when he fell into wild roses or brambles while he was trimming a hedgerow. The Harrison family owned a farm almost next door to Rosedale. I think the Harrisons were cousins of my grandmother, Annie Davis. My grandfather, grandmother and Tom, together with others from the village, used to play cards at least once a week in the evening at Westaway. I think they usually played Whist. During WWII, the three or four barns near the house were used to store artworks from the British Museum, to preserve them from damage due to London bombing. The barns were kept locked, but periodically some officials came to inspect them and once or twice I peeked in and saw large packing cases, which I was told contained valuable works of art. Although my grandfather had retired from his job at the London County Council before the outbreak of war, during the war he was given the responsiblity for placement of Italian and German prisoners of war. Some of these prisoners were employed as farm labourers on local farms around Ravensden and other nearby villages. I remember when they came to harvest wheat from the fields around the house, and I went out to watch, and help, make haystacks from the hay remaining after the wheat had been harvested by the steam-driven combine harvester. The prisoners all seemed to enjoy this work, which I was told, was just like the work they did before the war, but in their own countries. I also remember seeing American soldiers marching past Grandpa's house from time to time, sometimes singing in time with their steps. Sometimes the would break for a rest outside the house, and I would go out and talk with them. Often they would give me some candies, which was a great treet because candy was severely rationed in England during WWII and for some years afterwards. Once I was given some chewing tobacco. I tasted it and found it was not candy. My grandfather took it, and may have tried smoking it in his pipe. This reminds me of the toad. Each week a grocer came to the house with a van filled with groceries and my grandmother used to order from him. She always purchased some pipe tobacco for grandpa. He would open the tobacco package onto a sheet of newspaper, and then go outside the house and lift up a large stone that covered a buried ceramic crock. Underneath the stone there was usually a big fat toad guarding the contents of the crock. After carefully picking up the toad, grandpa removed the lid of the crock and removed a large covered can of tobacco from inside the crock. After replacing the lid of the crock, and the guard toad, and stone, he took the tobacco can into the house. He then opened the tobacco can and poured its contents out onto the new tobacco on the newspaper and thoroughly mixed all the tobacco together. After putting some of the mixture into his tobacco pouch for use during the week, grandpa then placed most of the mixture into the can and buried this in the crock outside (after carefully removing and later replacing the toad)".
