Hello all you lovely people!

Hi!

I've had a lovely time reading your profiles and getting to know some of the members on here, so I thought I'd join in with the fun. I'm from up north and while I still live up north, about an hour or so from where I was born, my husband actually comes from Essex. In a past life I used to be a nanny which is something people sometimes find a bit surprising as I don't have children of my own. I do however have three fantastic stepchildren and although they live all the way in Essex, we see them regularly and they all have their own rooms at our house.

Like a lot of you on here, I do like travel but haven't been to as many countries as I would have liked, although I did spend some time living in America. I also like art, crafts, and design especially interior design, and since moving into our home five years ago, I've had an absolutely smashing time doing it up. There's still a lot more to do as I keep changing things up but it's a real passion of mine so I enjoy being kept busy with something I love.
