on the surface very "normal" if needs be but underneath very competent and wise in many ways.
her biography and cv is a bit unusual
b1889
1903 responsible for her 12 younger siblings as her mum croaked a week after the last baby was born.
with the help of her gran(refugee survivor of the great famine, another good biog.)raised all of them to adulthood and ran a smallholding while dad went out engineering.
1914 to 1919 volunteer nurse, gulp. she got very good at mangled and gassed.
she gained huge respect from the doctor community and had a life long working relationship with one of em(see below)
early 1920's nurse and phisio to FA cup winners+free based on need and paid community nurse(pre nhs etc), married an engineer who was a bisley champ with full bore, 2 kids , posh house (see fa cup and paid)
her 2 kids , my dad and aunty have a few interesting bits on their cvs.
ww2 is a huge chapter, a fun extract is she had two tame italians for a couple of years who liked being peasant smallholder staff on the land behind her rather nice footie derived house.
widow and grannie late '50's
by the time i was 5 i knew the names and uses of several hundred plants and i could have a snack, mend a broken bone or cure a green wound with them, tend an allotment or wrangle chickens was normal. by 7 i could make black powder and gloss paint to pro standards
yep she was a bit unusual
loads missing but it gives an idea of the sort of short stocky lady who might be on the roof of a henhouse with a mk4. ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
