A CARE home resident has begun starting work on the second volume of his autobiography.
Frank Murrell, who will shortly be 90, lives at HC-One’s Haven care home in Peacehaven, East Sussex.
He self-published the first volume of his autobiography, Being Frank, in 2023, and in it he described his childhood growing up during the Second World War in Horsham, West Sussex.
He also revealed his pain and recovery from a serious motorcycle accident when he was younger, in which he broke both his legs – one of them in four places.
Now Frank is beginning work on the second volume, which is as yet untitled and also to be self-published. It is due to come out later this year.
The second volume will cover more of his life stories and his travels around the world, including his experience of living in Australia.
Despite having his arm in a brace following an accident, Frank is determined to carry on with his writing which he loves doing.
Wellbeing coordinator Mel Rosborough said: “Frank’s determination is truly remarkable. His story reminds us all of the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving our own narratives. Even with an injured arm, he is determined to write his book, he’s amazing.”
