about me

I now live with my husband just a few minutes from the coast in Barry South Wales,U.K. which is such an incredibly beautiful place.



A weekend boating is a wonderfully relaxing way of spending a few days and
there is always a lovely pub that you can stop at for a drink or just a bit of socialising


Also traveling and trying any local cuisine .

I have been very lucky in being able to have lived in many countries since I was a small child. Moving to what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) I guess my parents had the travel bug - and that was the first of many moves

I met my husband of 47 years in Nairobi, East Africa, we eventually settled in Australia, where we had our family of two daughters - now its extended to 4 Grand children as well whos ages range from 13 to 21 who we are visited in September 08 for her 21st birthday

The wanderlust has taken us to Great Britian, where we continue to explore ' this side' of the world!

We now have two pet cats, Sita and Rama,(brother and sister) they have been ruling our household since November 08... they are delightful,they are Bengals

I am very interested in History there is always so much to see and learn about.

My problem is that I kind of forget my age and want to do so much, I am going to be really angry if I die before I get to finish what I set out to do - joking apart, aint life great! - even with all the ups and downs we all have.


Pet peeve are racists - caused mainly by ignorance, I was one of just three europeans in boarding school, and had loads of friends - no one ever mentioned the fact that it was me that was different!

I do dislike recipes that have lots of tinned and package food in it - I much prefer to cook from scratch and am not keen on all the preservatives that are in cans and packaged food.


I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh - not at others, but with others.

Favorite Foods:

favourite dishes are too many to list, but often spicy
Friends all seem to love my curries and chinese meals. also my sausage rolls and samosas
I always cook from scratch, which I kind of find good therapy!


My favourite restaurant is Joys Kitchen,
why? because the best recipes are to be found here at Zaar

I am one of the Hosts of the Africa Forum, the Wild and Exotic Forum and now the wonderful new 'Whats in Season Forum"
