I'm originally from the North of England ('up north, as its referred to), but now live in Manchester & I got here via Essex. Admin angel all my career with the best years being a Pub Landlady of my own business. I love lists making, cross stitch, Adam Ant, prawns, making flavoured spirits, travelling the UK, weekends away finding new pubs, lots of things. I'm a happy soul generally although British politics & injustice, racism & ignorance can get me fired up!
