I have done a few different things along the way. I started off in fashion design and worked as a dressmaker and designer for a few years dabbling in theatre wardrobe and costume stuff for a bit. Changed tack and went to uni for a couple of years studying Social Anthropology. Had to leave to look after my babies and never got back to it - someday maybe. Right now I am home educating four of my five sons and having a great time..........Love to travel but like to be at home as well. Almost always been involved in dance of some sort and still make it out clubbing now and again. Favourite things to do with spare time (?!) are going to gigs, trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to play 5 string banjo and lying on the ground outside - preferably without being jumped on by children...........I thought I'd be doing the good life thing in the sticks somewhere by now but hey ho nobody knows where life will take them - go with the flow. The good thing is...it's not over yet..................body, .bodyContent{ background-color:CCCCCC; background-image:url( .. ); background-position:Top Left; background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:repeat; } table table table table{border:0px}table table table{ border-color:#CC6699; border-style:solid ; border-width:1px; background-color:; filter:0.50; opacity:0.50; -moz-opacity:1.0; background-image:url(http://); background-position:Top Left; background-repeat:repeat; } table table table table, table table table td{ border-style:none; } table, tr, td{background-color:transparent; }.nametext { font-size:12pt; color:000066; font-weight:none; }body, div, p, strong, td, .text, .blacktext10, .blacktext12, a.searchlinkSmall, a.searchlinkSmall:link, a.searchlinkSmall:visited{ color:000066 ; font-size:10pt; font-weight:none; font-style:none; font-family:; }a, a:link, a:visited, a.navbar, a.navbar:link, a.navbar:visited, a.man, a.man:link, a.man:visited, a.redlink, a.redlink:visited{ color:000066; font-size:8pt; font-weight:none; font-style:none; font-family:; } a:hover, a:active, a.navbar:hover, a.navbar:active, a.man:hover, a.man:active, a.searchlinkSmall:hover, a.searchlinkSmall:active, a.redlink:hover, a.redlink:hover{ color:FFFFFF; font-size:8pt; font-weight:none; font-style:none; font-family:; }.orangetext15, .whitetext12, .btext, .redtext, .redbtext{ color:CC6699; font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; font-family:Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; }.lightbluetext8{ color:CC6699; font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; font-family:Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; }table table td.text table td.text table table table a {color: ; } table, tr, td { border: none; background-color: transparent; padding: 0; }.blacktext12{color:FFFFFF;}a.navbar{sans-serif;font-size:8p t; font-weight:none} a.navbar:link{color:CC6699;font-size:8pt; } a.navbar:active{color:CC6699;} a.navbar:visited{color:CC6699;} a.navbar:hover{color: CCFFFF;}
