In 1968, Freda Bassindale quit the Edinburgh City Police and boarded SS Iberia for a new job as a telephonist. For the next five years she cruised the world with P&O, enjoying her life at sea and the exotic destinations she explored along the way.
Fifty years later, the discovery of a forgotten box of letters, booklets, diaries and photographs brought memories of people and places flooding back – of a time before mobile phones and internet, when travel was still an adventure, chronicled in her latest book, Hold the Line, Please .
“My aim is to get as close as I possibly can to the wildlife and I can spend hours photographing my subject. I love being able to make eye contact with the animals and birds as I feel that looking into their eyes helps me see into their souls.”
