From Newcastle, with Scottish origins, I have been living in the French Alps near Lake Annecy since my first job in a ski resort after university. Over the years, I have been a ski instructor, white-water rafter, estate agent, full-time mum to three sons, now grown, but these days I am an English teacher in a local high school. In this lovely area, I spend my free time skiing, walking in the mountains, swimming in the lake or gardening to the soundtrack of buzzards, woodpeckers and cuckoos.
As a European polyglot family, we love the resulting mishmash of cultures!
