I am married to a builder, have a son and a daughter and live in Barton-on-Sea.

After working for many years as a PA and being made redundant, I now work part time at a local nursing home doing activities with the elderly with dementia and Alzheimer's.

During my junoir/senior years I used to attend a Saturday Music School playing recorders and singing. During this time I also sang at Christchurch Priory in Songs of Praise and in the series Songs of Celebration ( hosted by Fred Dinenage back then! )

I gained a GCE in music playing the clarinet ( though regrettably I have not kept this up! )

I joined the Coda Choir some 10 years ago and am now looking forward to being part of Jo's new choir.
