A Long Way From Home

A Memory of Heswall.

Hi, I remember September 4th 1969, my first sight of Heswall Childrens Hospital where I commenced my nursing career as a cadet.  It was exciting and terrifying.  On the way over from Liverpool with my mum we had to take the bus, ferry, bus, it seemed a long way from home.  It was my little brother's birthday and we had left him crying back in Walton as I left. On the bus from Birkenhead I met Bernie and Brenda who were also starting that day.  We became, and remain, firm friends although Bernie now lives in Cleveland, Ohio and Brenda is in Wales.
Next April we are once again holding our Royal Liverpool Childrens Hospital (Myrtle St and Heswall ) reunion lunch.  I always enjoy these occasions and welcome any expressions of interest in this event.  Love and peace to any and all who might remember me.  Gina
