About Me

I'm a energetic 49 year old married woman.

I have 2 children, they are 18yrs girl and 20yrs boy. We do have a cat who lives within our home. We are very much a supportive family who like the outdoors and do all sorts of sports and activities. Personally l'm a runner, we all swim and also play rugby during the season September- April. We have a large garden with various outdoor and indoor toys. We like cooking both in doors and using the BBQ for different things. We have a large lounge which is a great space for playing and being creative. I also now have a designated playroom built for the children at the bottom of our garden.
