    • About Me

      Proud mum, business owner, planet, animal and peace lover I love walking on our beautiful beaches and swimming in the cold southern ocean. Am madly in love with a man who has been my best friend for ever. Have a little girl who is amazing, testing and suprising everyday. I have been decribed as strong capable and talented, but really I'm just trying to get by the best I can. Adopted at birth I then lost my adoptive mother just before I was four. I have a great adoptive dad, who has just survived lung cancer. My life has been a mixture of tragedy, miracles, tears and laughter.
