My Mum's 1st Job

A Memory of Ellon.

Iris Hastie worked here as a children's nurse when she was about 14. She went on trips to Fairy House and to the Hill of Fare, as part of her job. My mum was a good artist and the owner thought that as there was a shortage of teachers she could go to art college and become a teacher, and he would finance her. She chose to look after her ill mum. Her dad worked at the piggery.
