Still married to Chris (Electronic Eng ’85) and we

as a teacher in a primary school in Maidenhead, after having
spent 10 years in local government. I love my job, but hate

school that is under special measures. I would love to hear
from anyone that remembers me from the Hull days, especially
all the linguistics lot!
