    What a strange feeling - deja vu! I did my nurses training in the 1970s at Severalls Hospital, when it was full of people, very much alive and lively, yes, a lot of the patients used to be lively and lovable too, just like the staff! I`ve met very original and eccentric people there, and I think it is so sad to see how a place once filled with life, pain, sadness, consolation, creativity, love, comedy, tragedy, is now empty and hollow, skinned to the bone, and either the subject of photographic explorers or the future commercial promise for business people. Dear Severalls, I greet you from the past and all your ghosts I once used to know and cared for and cared about. To the unknown readers of my comment: I once used to live in the Nurses Home - look at the pictures, some traces may have remained.

    Good bye to an old friend

    with love to the spirit of the seventies at Severalls

    Auf Wiedersehen!
