'I am a great believer,' writes Anne, 'that life is a series of chapters, some with a definite ending and some that merge into the next.'

Early chapters for here were the chance to travel while working on a voluntary full time basis with IofC and be welcomed and given wonderful hospitality in a number of Asian countries, Australia and later in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Anne tried to give back in return through secretarial services or often facilitating and assisting at one of the centres run by IofC in those countries in the 1970s.

In 1977 another chapter started when she married Chris Evans and in 1983 they moved to IofC’s conference and training centre at Tirley Garth, Cheshire, where they lived for nine years. In 1992 they moved back to Herefordshire with their sons, Charlie and Tim.

Since then Anne has taken assorted and active parts in our rural community as a parish councillor, school governor, churchwarden, farm self-catering holiday home manager, alongside the care of older members of their family till their deaths. For 12 years 2002-2014 she catalogued the early collections of The Oxford Group paper and photographic archive which was accepted into the Bodleian Library, Oxford in 2014.

'I remain a countrywoman and gardener at heart.'
