I was born at woodgates maternity home later they made it into a nursing home for the elderly and my nanna died there. Anyway brought up in Elloughton moved out to town now i'm back in Brough just up the road to Elloughton. A few people still live in the area that I used to know but a lot have moved on.The thing is though I never remember them they always seem to remember me first,so then I feel completely awfull that i'd forgotton who they were.
