About me

Gender Female
Occupation Operational Research Analyst
Location United Kingdom
Introduction I'm a Maths graduate from the UK and all-round general geek who enjoys knitting, sewing, watching films and various cult tv shows, especially when my husband's there to share comments with. We're also big fans of drinks and write up reviews, tastings & experiments on our website, SummerFruitCup.com. My specialty there is whisk(e)y liqueurs, my passion for which follows on from my love of a good Scotch.

In April 2011, I had emergency surgery to remove most of my colon and now have an ileostomy, and so also write about this on 'Tea & Jelly Babies', to share my recovery & experiences with both family, friends & others who may be going through something similar.
