# 24 - Sentimental Silver

In 1953 I was in hospital with pneumonia at Christmas -
when I was well enough to return home, the nursing sister presented me with this fairy.
My mother knitted her outfit the following year and it has taken pride of place every Christmas since.

Fantastic. A bad experience that had a positive influence for 60 years. The sister was wise.
