I have been an Elder for 11 months and in my free time I enjoy listening to music & cooking.

I have been a member at Emmanuel for twenty years and love it there!  I find it welcoming and inclusive and we do our best to be outward looking to the community we are in.  My interests are Greek, Roman and Egyptian history and I love reading.  Favourite authors are Terry Pratchett and Lindsey Davis.  My husband and I are also involved in grandparent care for our busy daughter.  It keeps us young.  Come to Emmanuel and see what we are all about!.
