I was born in in South Wales and was my grancha's girl. At the age of five, however, we moved to South Africa to live. I enjoyed a wonderful childhood there, running wild on the veldt, until returning to Wales at the age of thirteen to a different way of life. I have lived in Northern Ireland, Spain, Cyprus and England. In my thirties, I started a career in teaching. My first teaching position was back where I was born! Now, I enjoy life in Cornwall with my two fully grown up children, a son and a daughter, plus my gorgeous grandson!
