Cecile and her husband lived on a canal boat on England’s waterways for eight years. When her husband died, Cecile became a pioneer in Occupational Therapy and eventually moved to Australia to teach the profession. She retired from work at 58 and metamorphised into one of the world’s oldest hippies, travelling the world and living in a Landrover for over twenty years!
