WHOS WHO

WHO’S WHO.

Past Imperfect is a true chronicle of my life and times.  At present in the story (1949) I am coming to the end of my second year training as a paediatric nurse.  In addition to my final year I have to do a further six months as one had to be aged 21 before one could become state registered.

My immediate  family consists of  Mum and Dad, Gran – who often visits her daughter Aunty Janet,( a GI bride) in the States, my younger brother Evan and my older sister Maddie.  Maddie is married to Paul and they have a young son, Matthew. Maddie left home aged six to be brought up by three maiden aunts – the Misses Davis who were no relation.

The Millers are a Jewish family who I met through nursing David – the son.  Hector and Maria, the parents, became good friends and I would often visit them on days off.  David had two sisters, Carmela and Hannah.
Annie is an old nursing friend from the Convalescent Home and Sarah is an old family friend who has shared walking holidays with me.

I first met Jamie when he and his brother Liam visited us en route to Scotland.  They were Oxbridge undergrads and  Maddie and Liam were friends.  I was fifteen and by the time I was nineteen Jamie and I had got closer, mainly by letter.  At the last Christmas Dance I met Andrew – a naval officer.  We became close and he proposed marriage.  I had already arranged to go on a walking holiday with Jamie, Ginny – a nursing friend and Alec – Jamie’s friend.

During the holiday I realised that Jamie was the one I loved and with great sadness broke it off with Andrew.

I hope this is helpful.  As some of you know I also take time out to do a post or photo post on anything that interests me and, hopefully some of you.
