• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

I am taking the reader on a journey to my nursing days in an Old Age Home where the path was not always smooth but sometimes riddled with potholes. The serenity one would expect of such an institution is only a farce and illusion and I welcome you to walk this path of my life spanning thirteen years.

Autorenporträt

I grew up with two of my siblings in a small town in the Free State. Although I had been born in the big city I would retain the characteristic influences of a strict upbringing in my life. I had started working as a cashier in a supermarket. From there I would work as a typist for the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry. In later years I got my certificate in Nursing and it was in my later years working as an Assistant-Nurse in an Old Age Home that I felt inspired to write this ebook of A Nestle of Nettles. Reading had become part of my life since childhood and I would read anything I could get my hands on. During my High School years a lovely old lady Miss Ford from England instilled in me the love and passion for reading and learning English. I can still visualize her in her wheelchair with a knitted blanket folded over her legs and tucked in the sides. Her silver grey hair was always tied up neatly in a bun and she would look at us pupils over the rim of her black spectacles. A brooch always attired her silk blouse and she would always be dressed immaculately. She never raised her voice at anybody and she always received the respect she gave to others. Miss Ford truly was a Legend in her own right.
