| Introduction | What would you like to know? I was born in the Midlands but now live in the Gtr Manchester area. Currently living in house #14, but have been here for 16 years now so it looks this could be it for a while. I've been married to Peter since the day after my 18th birthday in 1969! So, 42 years now. Scary stuff! Our son was born in 1978. We have 2 wonderful grandchildren, Eleanor (2009) and Benjamin (2011). Being a grandma is great! I have lots of crafting interests - could just do with a few more hours in a day! |
