I was born and lived in London until June 2011 when I accepted redundantcy from my job of 32 years where I worked in a girls' secondary school as the senior science technician.

My partner Colin, my cat Pebble and I are hoping that we will like Cyprus and decide to stay.

I have always been interested in photography but have never really taken it seriously as a hobby.

I like to read Stephen King novels and I like to read and dabble at writing poetry.
