Born in Adelaide South Australia May 13th 1942. Married Maurie August 5th 1961 and started married life at Woomera Rocket Range in SA. Moved to Melbourne Victoria in 1970 (too wet and cold) so back to SA 1980 ish.
Lived at Plympton for 18 years running a "boutique" boarding cattery.
Moved to Townsville Queensland in 1985 (chasing the warmer weather) and still here!
In my life I have been a theatre Usherette, Theatre Booking Office Cashier, Cattery Owner/manager, Lettering artist and Calligraphy teacher (still am but "semi" retired now!) Dog Obedience Trainer (we obedience trained & showed Dobermans all our lives until 10 years ago.)
We have 2 sons. One (47) in Canberra who has two girls (13 & 4) plus two girls in Perth from 1st marriage (24 & 22). Second son (43)lives in Adelaide and has 2 sons (9 & 7).
Hobbies? Reading, reading and more reading! Films, plus of course Calligraphy, Bookbinding & Boxmaking, Music (everything EXCEPT "Country & Western" & "Heavy Metal") good food and wine (Maurie was a professional Winemaker back in Adelaide) and cooking.
Exercise? Not enough!.....I swim when I can but I suffer from Myalgic Encephalomylitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (now coming up 4 and a half years) so exercise and many other things are difficult.
Health? Less said the better!!
And that's pretty much it......In spite of everything, I love life, I love my man and our family and every morning is a bonus these days! :-))
