Description
Today at the Nursing Home.
Mildred Gillett was born in Poole 1n 1909 was and was once the Headmistress of a local Primary School.
She is still amazingly schoolmarmy, and enjoys seeing Rosie. She sometimes does a voice for the dog as in " I don't think I want to talk to this silly old woman today" etc.
I know a retired teacher whose very first job was working for Mildred, and the memory of the fear is still vivid!
She has written several very interesting local history books, including "Wandering in Talbot Village"

Touching story and photography.
It is so beautiful to see people who take care of the old people I leave you up my hat .... Very touching and long life to this Queen and your big heart to other ones ((5++))
A wonderful picture Andrea.
Remarkable story and photo she is 104 wow she looks real good. Thanks for sharing this!
Pets can be so bonding such as here. Sweet capture. Aloha
Superb capture Andrea. God Bless.
Rosie is doing a super job, a lovely pic!!
I can read Rosie's mind, "Mmmm, tastes just like schoolmarm!" Mildred sounds like a handful. This is a wonderful warm image.
What a wonderful shot of these two :-)
my this is something to see. cool shot
GREAT SHOT
She looks like she could still rap the knuckles with a ruler to get your attention. Wonderful photo
An image that qualifies for the category of poignant, as are many of your nursing home pics. Rosie projects complete empathy. As I gaze upon this scene, it is becomes more and more evident that Mildred, except for her missing teeth, looks better than me, even at her ultra advanced age.
Mildred and Rosie make a beautiful pair and anybody that makes it past 100 is a champion in my book!
Very touching photo and description.
Wonderful capture of Rosie at work!
She sounds a great old lady and Rosie's doing a great job but what's with the two collars on Rosie.
Fascinating old folks you introduce us to...she's a treasure. Is Rosie taking a taste?
I can imagine her striking fear into the hearts of young teachers everywhere! :) She has "the look," even though she's been retired for ages. Some people just end up in the right job. If I were in bed a lot, I think I should like it very much if Rosie came to visit.
Rosie is doing a wonderful job and Mildred seems very appreciative of Rosie's work. Mildred has that teacher's look. I remember that look from eons ago when I was a mere child in school.
