Sending you big hugs.♥<br /><br />Thank you so very much for bringing us along to Southampton. It sounds like you had a fantastic day and your pictures are absolutely fantastic.

I long time ago now but I remember it well. Between your posts about Weymouth and Southampton, you're making me feel quite nostalgic! Fawley Refinery across the water is a bit of a blot on the landscape - I can even see it from the seafront in Alverstoke (Gosport)! I'm glad that Daisy has had a comfortable week, it's a terrible time for you all as a family.

It's also rather sad when you think of all the young men who were treated there over the years, the horrors they experienced, and for many of them how their lives would never be the same again. I'm happy to hear Daisy has had a good week. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-46360342523767948972014-08-11T14:39:31.994+01:002014-08-11T14:39:31.994+01:00Florence Nightingale criticising the lack of fresh...Florence Nightingale criticising the lack of fresh air in the hospital reminds me of how many hospitals years ago used to pushed the beds out of the wards on to large verandahs so that patients could take the air. I wonder why it was decided that it was no longer the thing to do and whether or not it did help in their recovery? I suppose it is rather like the change of habit when babies used to be left out in the garden all day sleeping in their prams - if it rained the hood and apron were put on to keep them dry. I even recall seeing babies looking over the top of their pram aprons with cold little cherry red noses.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-12854762656724533632014-08-11T13:47:27.751+01:002014-08-11T13:47:27.751+01:00A very interesting post Sarah.

So clean and bright.<br />England, has such beautiful places to visit.<br />Florence Nightingale was ahead of her time. She revolutionized nursing, a great woman.<br />I enjoyed reading your write up about her.<br />I remember seeing a film once. It was about children with TB- they were sent to the coast. Could have been there in the early 30's I think.. I was wondering if this was also one of Florence's treatments.. they slept outside through all kinds of weather. It was said that it could cure the TB.<br />To think, how far medicine has advanced.. Just a course of antibiotics and TB is gone.<br />Happy Monday Sarah.<br />Val xxx<br />valerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-43052781291745203312014-08-11T12:27:39.546+01:002014-08-11T12:27:39.546+01:00Dear dear Sarah,

My friend, how are you holding up? I see from here that you are enjoying the beauty and history of your area, which I would love to see one day. Sea air, lush landscape and so much architectural interest would make this a dream site to spend time.<br /><br />But my heart aches to learn of Daisy. Please keep us posted. Stay well.
