In my spare time I love to sew, especially patchwork; read; garden; walk and cycle and spend time with my family. I also enjoy travelling. I am blessed with many friends all over the world with whom I like to keep in touch.
My Christian faith is very important to me. I know that I couldn’t live the life I do without the love of God who I know is always with me. Even when I have been at my lowest, especially when my husband died so tragically, I have felt the presence of God supporting me and encouraging me to go on. Life is not always easy but I put my trust in God. I have found that prayer is essential – to thank God for the many blessings I have in my life and to help me to make the right decisions in my work and family life.
I met my husband Ken through the Alpha Course that took place in our Church 10 years ago. I know that God is a big part of our relationship. My work colleagues all respect my faith and I hope I can show by example how the love of God has helped me in my work with vulnerable children and adults.
