About Me

I am a fun, warm, bubbly person who loves spending my days with children. I am Mum to Hannah nearly 20 who is away at Birmingham University studying Archaeology. Then there is Katie who is 8 and is in year 3 at Fynamore School and lastly Imogen who is 3 and goes to Little Angels Nursery when she is not entertaining me. I am married to Gordon a Senior Design Enginner for Sky TV - he works in London during the week. We also have a cat Leo who loves being stroked by the children and his hobby is watching our tropical fish.
