Hi normalguy, came across this after chatting to fellow Walton Elm old boy, Cliff Lee.
From what i can make out, I was there prety close to the time you were there 66/69, although my memories of the place were far removed from yours. Be good to get in touch (bobkingham@hotmail.com).
Please keep writing, it's a remarkable read, even more so to me because it's almost like I've been reading parts of my own life story!
Keep it going, very best regards, Bob.

HI I was at Woodrough around 78-79 too. I was about 6 years old and was looked after by a lovely lady called Maggie. I was in the Thames house. I don't remember anyone else there. The home carried on put changed it's name to "The Oaks" in the mid eighties. My name is Eamonn Mccann - does anyone remember me?

Hi Terry, Doubt you remember me, but we where at Wishmore cross together. Sorry to see life has been hard on you, hope it's turned out ok in the end. Takes alot of guts to make public your life story in this way.

No worries, NG. Your AB has been great reading, even tho' I don't often comment, I've enjoyed it, and think you should seriously consider flogging it to some publishers.

You are extremely brave to bare your soul to the world about some highly embarrassing incidents.

Had you been a Catholic you could have confessed in private at the time and been happier due to sharing your pain with someone.

I haven't read the rest of your biography but will do so in time.

just read through this entire blog.....I have to admit, I had thought you were a bit of a wuss before reading it.....bloody hell, you had it hard.....reminds me of my old man...who had a very similar life.....including prison.

One of his sisters was put in the local loony bin when she was just 12 or so....dont even know why....she spent the rest of her life there tho was constantly running away. They found her body, naked in a stream that flowed through the grounds when she was in her early 30's...dunno what happened there either.

Largactil? That's real heavy duty stuff to use on a child! At no time, I guess, did anyone question why you were acting out?

PS: We had a joke in the psych admission ward that if a patient wanted a sure-fire way to get out they should pick up a broom and sweep up, saying "I'm better now, honest".
