I Was A Dr Banardo's Boy

I was a Dr Banardo's boy. I was with Mrs F Ashton for about 3 yrs, at the homestead, which I think has since gone, it was an old pub. I had very happy memories of Bluntisham, if there is anyone who remembers me, I would like to hear from you.
Our head teacher was Mrs Xmas.
Just if I may mention a few names I remember, Richard Tebbitt, Richard Leader, Ales Boulter, Leonard Marsh, Grace Barker, Joy Tebbitt, Sybil Merryweather, Allen Abbott.
I did enjoy living in Bluntisham, so if anyone remembers let me hear from you.

RE: RE: I Was A Dr Banardo's Boy

My mother was Sybil Merryweather -I was so surprised to see her name mentioned. I often heard her speak of Mrs Christmas. I grew up in Bluntisham and still have some connections with the villlage. Do you have any special memories about your schooldays? My mother is now sadly dead so I can't ask her the things I would like to tell my own children
