Durham England
Born and lived in the UK most of my life. I met my best friend when I was just seventeen, and we've been married for over 34 years! Started my own Photography business (riteimage) over 11 years ago and love the freedom and variety it offers. I always try to see the lighter side of life, and have a big issue with people who aren't being fair! In other words, don't hog the middle lane, pick your litter up, be polite and consider others. Is there anything wrong with that? My two kids have moved in with their terrific partners and starting their new lives very successfully - I'm really proud of them. Life is a balance of work and play, and sometimes it feels like plate spinning! Hopefully I find the right balance most of the time :)
