just trying to see if shes remembered she was from the west midlands and lived here a long time x

I was also at Port Regis for a time from around 1949/50 when I was around 5. Not a happy place for me and some of the memories still haunt til this day.

I remember being at a convalescent home in Broadstairs at this time. I was 9 years old. However I cannot remember the name of it. I do remember helping to shell hundreds of pea pods whilst sitting on a upstairs balcony. I also remember it had a small school room which I sometimes went to. I also remember going on a trip to the beach where I was bitten on the finger by a sand mouse which I found in the crevice at the base of the cliffs. I had to have an injection.
