I am a mother of four adult children who all still live at home!
My ‘happy place’ is my beach hut in beautiful Bexhill-on-Sea on the South Coast of England.
When I’m not working you’re most likely to find me reading, crocheting, walking, watching box sets, sunbathing, baking, listening to music or shopping!
