About Me

Home-maker living in rural North East Scotland, in my 7th decade.  Empty nester with two daughters in London.  Supporter to one beloved independent octogenarian living nearby.  Previously a rescue oldie dog owner, poultry keeper and elderly cat manager.  New owner of Spangle the kitten.  Keen cook and baker, weed warrior.  Recently retired library assistant.   Avid knitter, keen crocheter, occasional felter, sometimes stitcher, mad mosaicer and general craft dabbler - that's why I'm never at a loose end!

Get to know me better:

• My favourite book is "The Vanishing Act Of Esme Lennox" by Maggie O'Farrell
• My favourite film is "Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe"
• My favourite colour is turquoise (though I seem to knit in every thing else!)
• I'm a Queen's Guide
• I've hiked at Machu Picchu, climbed Ayers Rock and held my children's hands too tightly at the edge of The Grand Canyon.  Off to Japan Spring 2025.
• I trained to be a cartographer and worked offshore in the North Sea oil industry in the 1980's
• I prefer prosecco to red wine nowadays but always enjoy a G&T
• The box of chocolates is entirely safe until the cellophane is gone
• I'm not great with house plants but can make orchids repeat flower
• I'm still not over the loss of our beloved lab/collie cross
