In a Nutshell

Being menopausal, if I don't write stuff down, it doesn't get remembered. So when I've been abandoned by my (far too independent kids) and rattling around my gaff, with just Sir Reginald & Mavis for company, I'll have someone to talk to.

So, here we are.

I'm a 50-something mum of 3 grown up children & two dogs. I've always lived in Henley, except for my stint at music college in London. I am a professional violinist by trade, but am now a charity exec having founded Henley Music School, and in process of Henley Community Hub. I am an obsessed endurance swimmer, I swam the English Channel in August 2023, and I love writing.

I hope you enjoy my insights into living a full life, leaving something behind, and attempting to be a good person.
