Hi to all who stayed at the Margaret Bevan Home. I am not sure where I stayed but the comments that I have read seem to tell me that the Margaret Bevan Home sounds like the one I stayed at during the 1960s. I remember the sleeping in the Poppy Room. It had a small dormer window. It was January and the snow was thick outside. Ice floated on the river (the view from my window). I remember being equipped with a brown uniform, even knickers to match my beret. On Sundays we wore a grey suit for church. I was a run-down girl who needed time away from my family. The food was so good, I didn't want to leave the place. I stayed there for 6 weeks but it felt as if I had stayed there for years.
