me too Allan! I can remember the awful rubber smell.

I still think they put me on an ironing board lol

I do remember waking up, realising there was another child in the bed! Head to toe..... then we were transferred to a ward.

:-D

Interesting site, I've passed the link on to a few friends.

You're welcome Tenerife Sun. :-)

I found the games and radio sections were good.

I also remember the mask from when I had my tonsils removed. I still have nightmares :-0

Thanks for that Allan, I've had a quick look and as it seems interesting I will look at it properly later.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

I stumbled across this website today.

I found it fascinating!

The creator was born in the same month and year as myself, and only nine days earlier.

Although he lived in Sevenoaks and I was in the North, the similarities (apart from the house and garden that he describes) are amazing.
