The SheldwicH WI

The family secret is that I am by birth an Argentine!!! My parents were both Brits but I was born in Buenos Aires so am automatically an Argentine citizen though the only passport I ever had expired about 45 years ago! I had a peripatetic childhood in South America, the UK, USA and Cambodia so I attended 5 different schools over 8 years.

Since settling in East Kent after university I have worked for NatWest but gave it up to have children- far too many of them (4) and then retrained as a gardener through Hadlow College and as an Anglican Lay Minister through Spurgeons College. My children think I am really boring!

To make up for the fact I couldn't own pets I have a menagerie now of chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, and tortoises.
