Hi this is a first for me so here goes. I was born on the Isle of Wight, left in the early sixties to travel with my husband going to live in Germany, Holland and Norway; my husband's work also took him to Russia but our two sons were just babies then so I didn't go. We enjoyed our traveling but decided once our sons flew the nest to return to the lovely island. My interests are; rare and old fashioned breeds of chickens which I have bred for many years and of course Painting which I have done for six years now. I feel my painting is an enjoyable pleasure that I will be able continue with for the rest of my life.
