| Introduction | This is me: a very happily married girlie, I have two fabbie daughters and one snuggly Burmese cat (Louie). We live in a slightly shabby Edwardian house which, like most old houses, is constantly in need of TLC, it's freezing in the winter but utterly gorgeous in Spring, Summer and Autumn so 3 out of 4 ain't bad. We have a slightly wild and overgrown garden which I am trying to hoe into submission. The Boy made a couple of smashing raised beds and we make efforts at growing our own veg. We have a hedgehog house at the bottom of the garden but so far no little pigsies have moved in. I live in hope. When I'm not working in TV production, I love to spend quality time with my family (inc. mum, brother, sister etc) and friends, renovate the house (although I have come to accept it will never look like something in Elle Decoration) and indulge in creative pursuits. I can usually be found pruning something, singing or dancing round the kitchen with my spatulas. |
