Thomas & Helen Part I - Chrissie 1936

parents/daughter

When my Aunt Chrissie was born prematurely, a doctor's warning about London's pollution prompted Thomas and Helen Miles (my grandparents) to make a significant move to the Isle of Wight—a decision that profoundly shaped their family's story. Sitting in Chrissie's cosy Steyning cottage, we chat about everything from wartime beach barricades to life on the Isle of Wight, where her parents welcomed holidaymakers from the Potteries. Through stories of family hustle, resilience, and a love that endured through the years, I hope our conversation offers a warm, nostalgic glimpse into a time when life seemed much simpler yet full of meaning.
