Personal profile
I was lured to live and work in East Anglia where I have become integrated into Norfolk life having married the son of Norfolk farmer! I have one daughter and two step children. I am a keen amateur musician and play the violin in a local quartet and I also play the piano. I am a trustee of the Anteros Arts Foundation, a charity teaching art based in Norfolk. I enjoy sailing when I can, canoeing and walking. I keep chickens and guinea fowl, which make a useful burglar alarm!
