Download Nurse, Come You Here!: More True Stories of a Country Nurse on a Scottish Isle AudioBook Free
Mary J. Macleod and her spouse still left the London area for an idyllic spot to raise their young children in the later '60s, and they found the island of Papavray in the Scottish Hebrides. There they bought a croft house over a "small acre" of land, and Mary J. (also called Julia) became the area nurse. At age 80, she first recounted her family's escapades in her debut, Call the Nurse, where she launched listeners to the austere beauties of the island and the hardy elegance and ambiance of the islanders. The anecdotes in this new level take us to the finish of her stay on Papavray, and the MacLeod family still left for California. Once more we meet up with the crofters Archie, Mary, and Fergie, and other friends. You can find stories of troubles, pleasure, and tragedy, of children lost and found, the cow that wandered into the kitchen, a distraught young mother who strides into the icy surf with her child child, and the ghostly apparition that results after death to show you the will in a sewing package. There are incidents and broken bone fragments, twisters that come in from the sea, and works of simple courage and unusual generosity. Here again a nurse's compassion satisfies Gaelic fortitude in these true stories of your bygone era.
