My Interests

Hedgewitch with an addiction to Radio 4. I enjoy spending time with my husband and son,meditating, cooking(as long as I'm left alone in the kitchen,)singing(but def in the privacy of my own home these days).....also been dabbling a bit with geneology lately and found out that I am descended from a long line of ploughboys and farm labourers!

I'd like to meet:

I suppose this should read "have met" really.My Great Great Grandmother, Hannah Stevens, and ask her what it was like raising 13 children! My Great Grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Nicholl, and ask her why she changed her name to "Cecilia" in 1911.And........ I would like my son to have met my Nan and Grandad - just because they would have adored him !
