After 28
years happily spent as a primary school teacher, I retired from my headship
and moved to West Hill with my husband. My interests, apart from my family,
are music and walking with our two Labradors. I play clarinet and enjoy
belonging to Honiton Music Company and Seaton Music. I am also trying to
turn the old school playground into a garden with limited success

I am married
with two adult children and I have lived most of my life in East Devon apart
from time on Exmoor and the South Pacific. I originally trained in Hotel

After selling the business I ran a pie business with my wife Kate until
retiring six years ago. I have served on the WHRA committee for the past
twenty years.
