Hi to Lesley Izzard if you get this - I was in the home around that time, possibly a couple of years before and I am trying to get information through the local paper as all the archives have been destroyed.

love from Suz - now in East Sussex

Hi Ann, yes on the site and she said to reply in the chat room and this said general chat! Im hoping someone might respond to the name of the home though. Lesley's post was quite old though 2007. Ive reposted it here:

can I suggest you go back to her posting - I realise it's old, but she may still be a member - click on her name to send a message via GR - if she still has the same email address sh should get it - good luck!!!
