During World War Two my mother and I were staying with her parents while my father was serving overseas. As I was the only grandchild living with them I was totally spoil.. Every evening before I went to bed my grandmother, Florence ARNELL, would tell me stories about her family in Selsey - exciting stories of smuggling, shipwrecks, daring rescues at sea, fatal accidents, a convict sent to Australia, a murder and even a medal awarded to her cousin by the Emperor Napoleon. I loved these stories, absolutely enthralled. They would invariably begin "I remember when . . .".
