One of the "spin- offs" from the "Children of Craig-y-nos" project – and there are many, the most obvious one being linking people together who had shared the sanatorium experience as children and now they are senior citizens and meet up once again – is that it has encouraged other ex-patients from another hospital to do the same investigation into their past.
A whole community is emerging around the Marguerite Hepton hospital with blogs in England ( Southampton) and Australia. All are intent on piecing together their missing history.

a group of artists are living in a museum with lice in their head.
Seven German artists are living with lice in their hair in an Israeli museum for three weeks in the name of art.
The Berliners aim to stretch boundaries of what is art, saying they are toying with ideas about hosts and guests in line with a theme set by the museum.
"The idea is that we live in the museum as their guests, and at the same time we are hosting lice on our heads," said artist Vincent Grunwald, 23.
The artists are wearing shower caps to prevent the lice from spreading.
Milana Gitzin-Adiram, chief curator of the Museum of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, said: "Art is no longer just a painting on the wall.
"Art is life, life is art."
