I was born in Glossop, Derbyshire, but moved 'south' to Berkshire, as a child. At 20 I moved to Munich, where I lived for nearly 14 years,  during which time I married Wolfgang (a true Bavarian!) and gave birth to two children, Tony and Jessica, who are both bilingual. We now live in sunny Clacton with one dog, a Jack Russell Terrier, called Alfie and a cockatiel, called Bobby!
