Our 4th episode features Mary M. We travelled to Southern London to interview this hardworking and lovely Scottish lady. She is 87 years old and showed me what dedication means. 

We started with Mary's childhood with her favorite pony and the griddle scone recipe that her family still uses today.  Want to know what is it like to smoke a ''cinnamon stick'''?  ;) stay tuned! Being a tomboy herself and growing up with 8 male cousins, she attended a state boarding school in order to get a higher education. Despite being a tomboy, she follows her idol - her aunt - to become a nurse. 

We dive deep into her adulthood: how she devotes her life to being a nurse and her most memorable stories as a nurse. Her strong personality and dedication keep her going even being a health professional means you have to face and see and talk about death a lot of time. At the age of 26, her curiosity and love brought her to move to London with her late husband to start a new life. Want to know what it is like to party in Downing street? Mary stays close to her Scottish culture, we will find out more about Scottish Clans and Burn's night in the episode. 

Moving into her elderhood, Mary still uses her skills as a nurse to become a Samaritan and learn Ikebana (you will find out what it is!)

Need a reminder of  ''dedication'' meaning in this super fast society that praises fast results ? You will definitely remember from listening to Mary's story.

Dear Mary and Archie (Grandson of Mary):
Thank you for trusting me to become a part of your family gift and legacy. I truly feel your passion and love as a nurse and as a mom + grandma for your family. I love that this episode has revealed unheard of family stories. I hope you love this episode as much as you love Ikebana - Love, Nicole
