Personal Information

I once was a language teacher, but for the last 4+ years, have been a full time mum to my two boys, aged 4 and 2. I still do a tiny bit of language teaching and the odd translation for Christian Aid. I lived abroad for 10 years before coming back to the UK 4 years ago, and find it very exciting how much easier it seems to be to get involved in community projects here. I help to run a woodland parent and child group, as well as working hard on the Green Streets project now. I enjoy the beautiful outdoors, and want to do my bit to keep it beautiful for my children!
