Nothing more was said about that.
Did anyone else get the impression that Tamzin knew her great grandparents and great uncle? She talked about visiting Fishburn often,she remembered the shop and they died in 1978 and 1980 respectively. Tamzin was born in 1970 so I'm sure she would have known them but maybe hadn't realised what happened to them in the war. Someone did say they didn't talk about it and, even if they had, a child of her age wouldn't have understood what it all meant. I still don't buy her shock at hearing that Italy and Italians were "the enemy" though!
