Ann Brown has been able to return to her home in Allanfauld Road after a stint in hospital in the city of Odense.

The cake decorator - known in the trade as the Marzipan Queen- had been creating a sumptuous celebration cake for a society wedding when she became unwell.

Doctors had originally intended to have her airlifted back to Scotland two weeks ago but decided she would benefit from a more prolonged hospital stay.

Mum-of-one Ann who regularly attends The Tryst said: “It feels good to be home and to begin the process of dealing with my recovery. Although my condition was apparently very serious, I can’t recall much of what was going on around me at some points during the worst parts of the illness,

“ I’m just so grateful the ambulance got me to the hospital in time and also for the exemplary treatment I received.

‘‘It means so much to know that people were thinking of me back home while I was in hospital.

“ I feel quite overwhelmed by the concern shown by so many of them and would like to say how much I appreciate the flowers and the lovely cards.’’

Ann is now hoping to return to her business after a full period of recuperation.
