About 20 years.

The living person I admire ...
is Grayson Perry.

I admire him because ...
of his ability to convey complex ideas in a visually exciting way.

When I have time to myself I ...
make stuff with fabric and paper. I also like to read books, listen to music and admire nature.

My proudest achievement ...
my daughters.

Something that changed my life ...
was getting married to someone from a different culture.

My happiest memory ...
is taking my baby back home.

My favourite bit of Chippenham ...
is the river Avon.

Chippenham would be the perfect place to live if ...
it was more family-friendly in the evenings, and my family lived here too.
