Killing time Author Forename:Alan

Killing time Author Forename:AlanWe have a choir and on special occasions a glass of dry sherry. It's less of a home and more of a club and very much a community. Presided over by the lofty Mrs McBryde, Hill Topp House is a superior council home for the elderly. Among the unforgettable cast of staff and residents there's Mr Peckover the deluded archaeologist, Phyllis the knitter, Mr Cresswell the ex cruise ship hairdresser, the enterprising Mrs Foss and Mr Jimson the chiropodist.
