I would quite often meet her on my bike to deliver to these three places, but getting back up Smalldean Lane was quite an effort.

 She loved the outdoors and wildlife and every day she would stop at the cattle grid at the end of [[Grymsdyke]] to check to see if any hedgehogs had fallen in overnight. If so, she would get down on her hands and knees and scoop them out. But equally she had no problem with dispensing rabbits with mixamotosis which was prevalent at the time.
 Elsie and her husband Frank moved to [[Belle Vue Cottage no 2]], Lacey Green shortly after the birth of their daughter Joan in 1926 and where she lived until she died.
