About Me:
I am a linguist by profession and have taught languages for many years in a range of different settings and spent time living and studying in France and Germany. In recent years, I have been a senior examiner for German and have authored and co-authored a number of textbooks and exam study guides. I still do some online teaching but concentrate mostly now on my own writing – short stories, poetry and what might one day be a novel.
I have always been interested in fashion and indeed in all the creative arts. I have a qualification in interior design. My sons are an artist and an architect. I adore music, especially live events, love the outdoors and have chosen to live as close as possible to the sea to make daily swims throughout the year very easy. Other activities I enjoy are cycling, gym classes, crafting and dancing, and I’m also a member of a local community choir. Languages are never far from my life and I am currently resurrecting my schoolgirl knowledge of Latin. And about to be elected as a churchwarden at Newcastle Cathedral. It’s a varied life!
