I moved to Witchampton, Dorset, in 1976 with my husband John who opened his Gun Shop in Wimborne Minster the following year and in 1980 we moved to live in the town centre. We have two grown up daughters, Sally and Gemma.
I was first elected as a Wimborne Minster Town Councillor in 1991 and have had the honour of being Town Mayor three times and Deputy Mayor twice.
I am presently Chairman of the Friends of East Dorset CAB, President of Wimborne Musical Theatre and a Committee Member of Wimborne Minster Chamber of Trade & Commerce having just completed my two year term as President. I also support various other local organisations, including Friends of SSAFA and the Royal British Legion.
