My husband and I moved into Dilton Marsh in August 2018. We had been visiting the area for 2 days every week since 2012 to spend time caring for our 2 grandchildren who were both born and live in Frome with our daughter and her husband. I joined the PC in 2020.

I worked in the NHS for 34 years before retiring from my post as Specialist Heath Visitor for Substance Misusing Families. I spent my NHS time starting in West Bromwich, Walsall, Rhondda Valley and Finally covering all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. I have been a District Nurse, School Nurse and Generic Health Visitor after my stint in hospitals. We were also Foster Carers for very young children and babies for 10 years after retirement.

I have a keen interest in village life, I love the idea of improving the environment with projects like the pollen corridor and following my roots continue to want to help the people around me. Once a nurse/carer always a need to care.

Walking our pooch, reading, knitting and completing various crafts fill my time too.

I have lived locally to Dilton Marsh all my life, moving to the village in 2009. I am married and we have a son together. As an individual and as a family we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying countryside pursuits, I like pottering in our garden growing flowers and vegetables as well as craft making

I joined the parish council in November 2017 and try my best to have a active role, getting involved with what I can, especially with tasks that will make a difference and have a positive impact on the parish.

I moved to Dilton Marsh over 40 years ago from Essex, and have loved the life here from the start. To begin with I was still working at the British Museum but quickly decided that I also wanted to work here. After working for the National Trust, first at Lacock then Bath I changed jobs a few times then settled at a solicitors in Westbury where I stayed for 32 years until my retirement. I love reading, history, crafting, wildlife and now wonder how I ever found time to work full time.

I recently moved to Tower Hill in Dilton Marsh, having been in Warminster for a number of years. I'm not local born and bred - I've lived in various parts of the country, but have been in Wiltshire for more than 20 years now - so I guess I'd say I'm settled now, and I couldn't imagine living in a city by choice now. Professionally I started out as a Marine Engineer, but my career morphed into software - and more specifically managing software testing. I've been doing that for quite a while now and still get a kick out of doing it, and both learning from and influencing the new trends that come around. On a personal basis, I love being out and about - favourite hobby is photography, although that's taken a bit of a back-seat recently as I have a lot of DIY projects to sort. I'm looking forward to being a councillor and serving my community to the best of my abilities. If I had to categorise myself, I'd say I'm closer to 'easy-going' than to 'high-maintenance' - and I'm always happy to listen - so when you see me around, please feel free to say 'Hi' and have a chat.
