Now it comes back to me, Mary, at Mark Reading end of one Summer Term DR made a pronouncement that we would have a nurse in the Infirmary who had a young baby. Edward was a sweet little child, and I can remember mother and crawling baby sitting and playing on a blanket on the field outside the Infirmary. A good job for a mother, I can remember thinking.englishangel wrote:I thought it was the nurse who made the lemonade. she was lovely, though I don't remember a toddler.
Sister Garrad could often be seen bottom up weeding and planting in the Infirmary garden facing the field - do you remember there was that yellowing veranda construction?
House gardens were a wilderness! I used to long to get ours cleared and some good shade plants put in. I'd have done it too! Stupid I never asked to take it on - during hockey/netball of course!
