Personal
Happily married to Nic for 23 years, we have two girls Jasmin aged
15 and Georgia aged 12. I enjoy family activities and I am currently
producing our second village pantomime after having great success
with the first (an idea born of my children roping dad in to the
messy part!) I have also run a golf society for the past 15 years
enjoying playing and also keeping the internal politics of our 35
members at bay. I have a passion for cooking and regularly cook for
family and friends and when the girls vote my chocolate cake better
than mums watch out Gordon Ramsey and co!
(Try cooking mussels in cider with pancetta, shallots and cream,
Beautiful!)
