Deliriously and happily married to my wonderful husband and friend Ian who is 19 years my junior. Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this year with a trip to Mexico.

We built our house and 11 others over 15 years ago as part of a self build scheme and love our little home like no other.

We enjoy Christmas enormously and I have achieved a modicum of notoriety with my ever changing Christmas decorations and themes.

It has taken an awfully long time to work out what I am good at. Without sounding braggish, and I probably am, I have come to the conclusion that I am actually the cleverest person I know!
