After leaving school I went to Oxford Polytechnic and did a BSC/Hons in Anthropology/Psychology before embarking on an adventure to Africa. This led to me meeting my husband Piers and spending fifteen years in the African bush running high end safari lodges and a hunting operation. We are now based in Harare where I run my company, Collaborative Craft Projects. It's a global export brand specialising in handmade woven crafts, product development and interior design and training. 

We have two children, Charlie 28, and Teddy 18. I still keep in regular contact with some of my old classmates, Ashley McCracken, James Humber, Laura MacDonald, Andy Smith, Lisa Murray, Andrea Fisher.

My wife Anna, I and our two dogs, Rufus and Lotte, in Hornbaek, a small seaside town on Sjaelland, the main island in Denmark, around 45 minutes north of Copenhagen. We have been in Denmark for nearly five years, and it's a fantastic place to live with friendly, warm and fun people/vikings. I work in marketing for the GN Group, established 150 years ago and so one of the oldest companies in Denmark. Under the Jabra brand, we make headphones, speakerphones, video conferencing cameras and hearing aids. This is a picture of Rufus and me on the beach at Hornbaek on a rare sunny day in the Danish summer.

Three years ago, after years of long hours in consultancy (and too much rain!), we decided to pursue our dream by moving to the south of France with our three young boys. Having purchased the obligatory wine domaine to renovate near Carcassonne, we still work hard, but the wine, cheese and weather have significantly improved!
