I married young and travelled the world for over twenty years with my soldier husband. Jobs early in my marriage ranged from cleaning in a hospital for people with mental disabilities, through to secretarial jobs. Then I took four years out to achieve a BSc Hons (2:1) in Information and Communication Technology and Maths, and a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (Primary). I then took up a new career in teaching, culminating in a headship.
Retirement now gives me time to write, swim, do tai chi and attend many groups on offer with the University of the Third Age (U3A) and produce a bi?monthly newsletter for over six hundred members.
