Wife of a beekeeper. I work at Embley Hampshire, formerly HCS. I am a Chaplaincy volunteer at Southampton General Hospital. I attend Trinity Church, Totton.
Florence's 1st attempt at nursing is documented as treating the injured paw of local sheepdog Cap when she was child. An injured working dog was no use to its owner & probably would have been destroyed, so she saved his life. This drawing imagines the scene. #InternationalDogDay
At 00:02 both appliances along with our colleagues from @Eastleigh32@Redbridge53 & @Andover31 attended a large Agricultural fire off Sandy Lane, Romsey. Swift actions by the crews got the fire under control.
Earlier in the year the school community knitted and crocheted an incredible 700 squares to ‘yarn bomb’ our school. Those squares have been washed, disassembled and reassembled to make blankets to donate to Wooly Hugs, a charity providing support to those in need.
Love this story on @BBCNews about a veteran & a nurses who cared for him. Our next big project will be to renew our military nursing section, recognising the impact of military nursing from Scutari Hospital to the present day. https://t.co/GjooakCikl Do you have a story to share?
#OTD 1819 Frances Parthenope Nightingale, Florence's sister, was born. Like Florence, she was named for the place she was born - Parthenope in Naples. Her 1st name is for her mother. She was known as Parthe or Pop. 📷courtesy of @florencemuseum#AtoZFlosLondon

For Arthur.
Your little life is over,
Of terror and of pain,
Nobody can hurt you now,
Nor ever will again,
In the hands of torturers,
No saviour, no friend,
No love for little Arthur,
And no grave at the end.
I can’t quite believe I’m writing this but @TheCricketerMag have published an interview with me in their December edition. The article focuses on my life in cricket, the loss of my darling Mummy 4 years ago and how this wonderful sport has saved my life. Please pick up a copy!🏏
