When I left home for Cardiff on my pushbike all those years ago I swore I'd never return to settle in Stourbridge; been here 15 years and own two houses now...

Psychiatric Nurse for the last 20 years. A&E liaison nurse first of all at Charing Cross, then at West Middlesex Hospital. Now I work in the community chasing people who don't want anything to do with mental health services (in Borehamwood and Potters Bar). Plan to go part-time and cover the rest of the week as a Driving Instructor.
