| Introduction | I am married to Michael, and have two incredible children: Patrick is a 6' 3" 17 yo, and Charlotte is a petite 15yo who was asphixiated at birth, and so is confined to a wheelchair with the condition Cerebral Palsy (CP). My children provide me with endless joy; they are both very 'switched on' people with strong cores and abilities. I work in a high school as a psychologist, and love every minute I spend helping children and adolescents find solutions to their problems. My time spent crafting with Charlotte is my 'earthing' to balance the very mental nature of my day job. I am truly blessed to enjoy ALL that I do in life. |

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?
My brother used to get me up at 6.30am on Saturdays to watch The Thunderbirds when we were kids. We would eat the leftover fish and chips from the night before while we absorbed ourselves in the puppet show.
