Hope Bourne - Iron Willed Individual - RIP

I did not know Hope Bourne, nor was I even aware of her, but after reading a Telegraph piece, which notes her death on August 22 of this year, I rue the fact that that I did not.  I’ll have to search for some of her works.

Friends tell me I could live better on National Assistance, or whatever they call it now. Over my dead body!...

“I’m bloody-minded. My independence is the most important thing in the world to me: freedom and a vigorous outdoor life.”

I think Dick Proenneke would have liked her, too.

Hope Bourne.
