I wanted to thank you for posting your Humbie slideshow on the web. I spent two summer terms there in the 50's when it was very much a Children's Holiday Village and not the sad place it later became. The blacksmith's logo on the steps of the chute was the same as on our 'home' chute at North Berwick so I used sit there if I felt homesick - I had forgotten all about it till I saw your pix. You brought back a lot of very happy memories for me.

I cant speak for any other time,, but, between January and March of 1964 I was there with some other children, and none of us were handicapped or in any way disabled. We were told it was a respite home to give our parents a bit of peace for three months. (my mum had left, and I know at that time, my poor dad was fairly at the end of his tether).
While there we had a couple looking after us in our cottage. They had two children of their own, one boy and one girl my age. The husband of the couple, abused me. His wife was asleep down stairs while this went on. I didnt tell anyone, because our feeling at that time was that we would not be believed.
I am not happy that this man got away with it, but what to do? I know that he very soon after moved to Musselburgh, to do what, I have no idea. I was 8 at the time.
The mention of Humbie prompted me to write. My life is good. I'm a happy person. Just now and then things surface.
I wont let the gitts get me now, as they did then.
