Magical memories


Another international subscriber, Pam Laird, North Shore, New Zealand, is celebrating the completion of her book after 25 years of preparation.

ÔThe preparation was mainly typing and teaching myself to use four different computers,Õ she says, Ôin order to write a book based on my journal from over 50 years ago.Õ

From Geraldine to Fortis Green is a self-published record of two New Zealand nurses and their life and times when working in London and travelling throughout England and Scotland in the 1950s.

They cycled all around Scotland and back to London in two and a half months and later drove an old London taxi around Europe for three months.

Writing the book has, says Pam, Ôbrought back some fabulous memoriesÕ.

Pam has been a member of Mairangi Writers, North Shore, for 25 years and is now concentrating on a collection of short stories. She says she loves the Ôinternational flavourÕ of WN.
