Scared

A Memory of Heswall.

I Remember as a 6-7 year old child my self and my brother spending time here our family was quite large 12 children in all so I think my mother sent us off to this hospital so she could have some respite, I remember some nuns picking us up from Liverpool and taking us here I still remember being absolutely terrified and scared so much so I can still remember them putting a red plastic cover on my bed every night because i used to wet it, I also remember walking in the grounds and there was children in a ward with shaved heads I didn't know at that age why ! But i now realise it felt I was so far away from home I could have been in another country.
