I'm counting down the days until it's time for us to go, I can't wait. Hope your function went well yesterday. I think this is a great idea, no one can tell it like it was other than those who worked there and all this history will one day be lost if it isn't recorded.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-39289857706696226582014-06-05T09:22:48.294+01:002014-06-05T09:22:48.294+01:00It was double maths for me when time stood still. ...It was double maths for me when time stood still.

I thought Horace and Doris was funny, but Maurice too is brilliant! As you probably know Belper is only 5 miles from us and I used to attend many meeting there when I was working. My goddaughter was born in the maternity home part of it. Many really old people don't like to use Babington as it was the workhouse once and they have memories of sad times for their parents etc. it is however, as you probably know, a lovely little hospital.<br />Great turnout yesterday. A few cakes left, there would have been plenty for you!<br />Gill Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-78471448514798476332014-06-04T12:48:35.818+01:002014-06-04T12:48:35.818+01:00Time keeps flying here too. what I want to know is...Time keeps flying here too. what I want to know is why were 1 and a half hour Biology lessons ( double Bodge) soooooooo long , yet now 1 and a half hours can disappear in a blink.Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-55987900828263607552014-06-04T12:35:32.912+01:002014-06-04T12:35:32.912+01:00You busy bee!

My Dad used to visit occasionally and on the only visit my Mum undertook on her own, she went into labour there and I was born at the Babbington Hospital Maternity unit at 6am one wet and wintry November day in 1954.<br />Every Christmas for many years, we used to get a card from, Horace, Doris and Maurice, which used to make us kids chuckle!<br />So, I wondered, are these (2 of them) the people you mentioned? Dad was born ( I believe) in Breedon - the- Hill in Leicestershire but, shortly after his Mother died, his Father re-married (I think) and Dad was brought up by Foster parents in Long Eaton, Derbyshire (now postcoded in Nottinghamshire).<br />That's it really, probably no relation whatever lol!<br /><br />Hope you get a good selection of folk and a good turnout this afternoon, if you need any help to eat the cakes........<br />Have a good trip to Cornwall, get lots of fish!<br />Sandie xSandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.com
