I was a Ward Sister at St Christopher’s in the early 1970’s when I was advised to stop nursing on health grounds.  However Cicely said ‘Would you like to be my PA?  I think we could have fun’.  I accepted and we did!

The photograph was taken earlier when I was Sister Edward at St Thomas’. The calendar was given by a colleague from Hospice Casa Sperantei in Brasov, Romania and the boxes of files are from the Nightingale Fund Council.

The two fulfilling roles I have in retirement were made possible by Cicely’s invitation in 1973.
