I have lived in Berkhamsted for 60 years and attended Ashlyns School. I am married with two married sons and two grandchildren who also live in the town. I have been on the committee of Berkhamsted Citizens for over 45 years and secretary since 1988.

Having worked in publishing and education for most of my working life, I took a course in horticulture and now work part-time as a gardener, which I enjoy very much.
