About Me

hi my name is judith, often known as judes, and i am the middle one of 5 kids brought up in bowral, nsw, which was a little country town back then. i have lived in shepparton victoria for 30 years, and both my kids were born here. andy and his partner katie live in bendigo, nick (robbo) lives in fitzroy north, in melbourne.check out some pix of family, friends and places....i am retired now, and loving it! for most of my adult life i was a teacher - lower primary, upper primary; then in high school, english and history, then french, and later japanese; finally i did a couple of years back at primary school as a casual relief teacher.recently i completed a postgraduate diploma in civil celebrancy, and i hope to begin a new career soon conducting funeral services and, later, possibly weddings as well.i am currently undertaking a training course which will enable me to work as a volunteer guide in our local art gallery.i am lucky , i live in the country, with a big garden, two dogs and two cats, and lots of goldfish in a big pond that one of my sisters and i made ourselves. one of nick's mates, mookie, boards with me.Update 10 Aug 2007 i keep meaning to update and not getting round to it...things have changed twice and i have still just left my original info, lying to the world! mookie moved out during womadelaide..umm, that means early march..so i was home alone for a while. then in early may nick and tim had to leave the cool house in north fitzroy, and nick decided to come back to shep for a while, so he is now occupying the great hall suite.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
