Betty describes her father as a brilliant shot with a gun. He used to go about in his pony and cart and she can remember him shooting pheasants from the cart standing up.

 

Later on in life he was boilerman at Weybourne Army Camp, but in his early years he made his living from the heath and the marsh and his allotment.
He was a Warrener. Rabbits were the only meat most people had in those days.

Roy remembers going rabbiting with his father. It was his job as a boy to catch the little rabbits. He would sell them to people for rabbit pies, at a shilling for 4 or5 in a bunch.
