I am a 49 year old woman from the North of England. I have two children who are at university. I am a teacher and I also teach teachers. I also teach English online in other countries. I come from a large (by England’s standards!) family, having four siblings and 12 nephews and nieces. I have a varied circle of friends; some colleagues who became friends, people who I lived parts of my life with (like uni, school, church etc) and my ‘bestie’ who i went to nursery school with 46 years ago! Hobbies include crochet, embroidery and music from a wide range of genres .
