What I do Monday to Friday
I retired several years ago as Headteacher of a Church of England Infant School and these days I spend my time taking care of my husband of 60 years and trying to keep our house and garden tidy. I can be found on Thursday mornings at The Ark, our mother and toddler group where I have helped for about 18 years.

My likes and dislikes
I like nature and the countryside. (My main subject at college of education was Natural Science). I enjoy doing crossword puzzles and cruising. I dislike disorder and people who queue jump.

Family and pets
I live with my husband and Cockapoo, Bobby. I have a son and a daughter who live close to Godalming, both of whom are teachers, a lovely daughter and son in law and 3 grandchildren, two of whom are teenagers and one an accountant.

My testimony
I gave my life to Jesus when I was 10 years old at a Billy Graham meeting in London. This was thanks to the nurturing I had received at the church I attended in London. God has blessed me in so many ways all through my life and I am pleased to be a Child of God.
