I live in the beautiful West Oxfordshire village of Bampton best known for being one of the filming locations for Downton Abbey.
I have a very handsome Keetso cat called Frodo, aptly named for his unusual paws which look like hobbit’s feet.
I am Mum to two grown up daughters and I have 3 grandchildren. My youngest daughter and youngest granddaughter live stateside, meaning Phoenix Arizona is my home from home and may go some way to explaining my obsession with cacti.
A lover of the sea, lakes, and rivers I find solace in connecting with the rhythm of the water. I am an adventurous soul who thrives on exploring new horizons. When not in the water on either my paddleboard or kayak, you may well catch me at live music gigs and festivals soaking up the vibrant energy.
