Born in the same room

I was born in 1948 in a private nursing home in a welsh village, Crickhowell, Breconshire. In 1973 I was living in a house in Morden, Surrey and we had decided to move. We held a 'House Leaving' party to introduce the new owners of our house to the neighbours. The couple buying our house were going to have a lodger and he came along to the party. The subject of where we were born came up in conversation and I said I had been born in Wales and the 'lodger' said he too had been born in Wales. Further into the conversation in transpired that the 'lodger' had also been born in a private nursing home in Crickhowell and I mentioned that my mother's room had overlooked the local cricket ground. It was the only room that overlooked the cricket ground and the 'lodger' declared that he too was born in this room. We were both stunned at this coincidence... that had we had been born in the same room whilst still living in the same area might be understandable, but that we both 'landed' in the same house some twenty-odd years later was amazing. Last year I went to Crickhowell to track down the nursing home only to discover it had been demolshed some year ago - the position of the site was correct, it was opposite the cricket ground.
