About Me

I was born in April 1964 in South Wales.

My Dad was a Flt Lt in the Royal Air Force and after I was born, he was posted up North to a station in Yorkshire. This formed the pattern of my early life, where we stayed somewhere about 3 years and then moved on. My parents were told that my brother and I would either become introvert or cope and become extrovert!! Your Guess!

Our final posting was to Pembrokeshire (also known as Dyfed) where my brother and I had the pick of over 5 really first class beaches! Needless to say - we had fun. I went to college in Newport, where I met my husband-to-be and the rest, as they say, is history!

Other Links:

Not strictly hobbies, these are things I enjoy or think are important.

The Chocolate Tasting Club (Official Home Page) - This ... is ... fabulous! Seriously, if you enjoy chocolate try these!
Google - is your friend!
World Vision not to mention the Alternative Gift Catalogue - I've sponsored a succession of kids in a variety of different places. This is NOT hard and it's a way of helping others and their wider community start to stand on their own feet.
Sealed Knot - An English Civil War (17th Century) re-enactment society, which we used to be a part of (pre-children). It was a lot of fun and I miss it a little but my days are pretty full at the moment.
Gerald Durrell's Jersey Wildlife Trust - Something I can remember being a part of for an awfully long time! (I was a member of the Dodo Club to begin with). I have visited the trust at least twice and was always deeply impressed with the work being done. Durrell's books are another set that I really enjoyed reading and I wanted to help give something back. It was a shock when he died, but it's lovely to see his legacy and dream still continuing.
