I was born in North Kent (now part of greater London) and grew up in Kent and Somerset. I worked as a secretary before the birth of my two children, who are now, of course, grown up and I have two lovely grandchildren,
Luke aged 4 years and Sarah fifteen months. I came to Düsseldorf in 1982 when my husband took a job with a German company and have been here ever since! I joined the BWC in 1996 by which time I needed to "revive" my English, and it has been very good for me, making some really good friends. This is
my second year since returning to the Committee,
as I
previously did the NL between end 1997 and 2001.
