I am a Mum and Grandma and I love and enjoy both jobs. Unfortunately 10 years ago I was widowed and how that changes one’s life, and then again 6 years ago I lost my eldest Daughter to Breast Cancer which became the catalyst for me  getting involved in local politics. Knowing I had both the energy and the time I wanted to be of help to my Ward members and fight their corner when they needed help. This I have done for 6 years now and heartily thank everyone for the votes given to me because I totally enjoy my roll. I am also Portfolio Holder for the Environment which keeps me very busy which is how I like to be.

Before this virus I would enjoy dancing, socialising, dining out with friends and family, and I even started learning to play bridge which I must try to get back to. I love cooking, my  kitchen is my happy place and now  I have a freezer full of meals for one. I enjoy some handicrafts and gardening although I am still learning . I got into sailing after John died, although I have hung my sea boots up for long trips away for now..........
