In September 2016 I embarked on the new adventure - retirement, after 45 years in education. I am a very proud mum of two sons who are also educators and three adorable granddaughters. Roger (my husband of 45 years) and I have lived in glorious Gloucestershire, at Rose Cottage, for the last 25 years, after many years in East London but having originally hailed from Gloucestershire. We are living the dream and really appreciate what we have. It is wonderful to be able to share this with visitors, friends and family. I am really enjoying retirement, especially the opportunity it has given me to develop my passion for gardening. Keeping fit is important to me and I love walking with our dogs as well as my local WI walking group. My new fitness adventure for 2019 is becoming a 'Silver Swan' - ballet classes for oldies! I love life and new challenges.
