about me

I now live with my husband just a few minutes from the coast in Barry South Wales,U.K. which is such an incredibly beautiful place.



A weekend boating is a wonderfully relaxing way of spending a few days and
there is always a lovely pub that you can stop at for a drink or just a bit of socialising


Also traveling and trying any local cuisine .

I have been very lucky in being able to have lived in many countries since I was a small child. Moving to what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) I guess my parents had the travel bug - and that was the first of many moves

I met my husband of 47 years in Nairobi, East Africa, we eventualaly settled in Australia, where we had our family of two daughters - now its extended to 4 great Grand children as well. who we are visiting in September 08.

The wanderlust has taken us to Great Britian, where we continue to explore ' this side' of the world!


I am very interested in History there is always so much to see and learn about.

My problem is that I kind of forget my age and want to do so much, I am going to be really angry if I die before I get to finish what I set out to do - joking apart, aint life great! - even with all the ups and downs we all have.


Pet peeve are racists - caused mainly by ignorance, I was one of just three europeans in boarding school, and had loads of friends - no one ever mentioned the fact that it was me that was different!


I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh - not at others, but with others.

Favorite Foods:

favourite dishes are too many to list, but often spicy
Friends all seem to love my curries and chinese meals. also my sausage rolls and samosas
I always cook from scratch, which I kind of find good therapy!


My favourite restaurant is Joys Kitchen,
why? because the best recipes are to be found here at Zaar

I am Co-Host of the Africa Forum and also the Wild and Exotic Forum
