Christine and Nadine - The Angels of the North


Christina and Nadine are two very fine ladies. They are home nurses and live and work in the very north of England. And their jobs and their lives are the people they care for.

And, Christine and Nadine are Angels on earth for very many people! But, being an Angel means many long hours of very hard work and very low pay. And, of course, it goes without saying that even Angels need breaks.

And Christine and Nadine have a passion for travel. And, sometimes it's the thought of a holiday that stops them from cracking during the hardships and trials of their daily routine.

And, holidays cost very much money. But, that's no problem for Christina and Nadine. When it comes to raising more money, they have plenty of ideas up their sleeves. They hold car boot sales, they bake cakes, they knit, and do much more as well. And each time it works. When a holiday's needed - there's a way - and Christine and Nadine have always succeeded.

And this year they're going to Poland. And, they've already raised enough money. And, not only that. They are half-way through a Polish language course, too. Getting by in a language makes holidays fun!

And so, at the end of the day, they are not only Angels with wings for the people they care for, they have their own Angels, too! Through the fogs and the mists of bad English weather, their next journeys will surely appear!
