| Introduction | In my prime (50 plus taxes), living a relaxed English city-based lifestyle with the option of escaping to a country cottage with my beloved. I have a particular enthusiasm for Japanese textiles and techniques and, after a very special trip to Japan in 2012, my stitching projects are becoming increasingly influenced by Japanese style. I try to ignore my chronic illnesses and eat mainly vegetables chopped up in my Thermomix to maintain my health and to fund my fabric and travel habits! I especially want to return to Japan and I hope to visit New Zealand again soon. I have two wonderful grown up children and two grandsons, one being the gorgeous Sam, who appears frequently on these pages. |
