' Flying as a Rest Cure'
Ann Stafford
Ann Stafford , after a University career at Newnham and King's College (London), tried her hand at politics and commerce, and then settled down as a novelist and journalist. She lives in London and says that she spent most of last year having appendicitis and complications. She took up flying afterwards because she was not allowed to ride or walk and badly needed a new adventure to convince her that life was worth living.
She is fond of adventure, and listeners may remember the vivid account she and Jane Oliver gave on the air of a holiday they spent on horseback in the New Forest.
