I live in a small Devon village with my other half, our daughter and grand-daughter who is nearly 13 (help!!) We also have a barking-mad border collie who loves people, except when they come through the front door! Once they're inside, she's fine with them!

My main love (apart from the family) is singing, of the choral and church choir variety. However, I have been known to sing in a soul/bluesy fashion too, but that's usually in the shower!

I also love reading, visiting gardens, the Lake District (and Cumbria generally)

We also have a son who is a police officer in London and he is married and has a daughter of nearly eight plus two step children.

So basically, that's me, or at least, all you're going to be told at this moment!!
