Now retired, Lynda Thrift is based in the West Midlands and lives with Amble's role model. She is the mother of two daughters and Nonna to her grandchildren. She enjoys playing with the grandchildren, long walks in the countryside with her dog and visiting her friends. Not always at the same time, although it has been known.
When not looking after her dog, or playing with her grandchildren, or visiting her friends, Lynda enjoys travelling and exploring the world.

Life would never be the same again.
