Recently retired, I'm enjoying the freedom of setting my own agenda for each day and in particular having time to see old friends and to make new. As far as church activities go, I continue to preach, to be part of the healing and prayer ministry team and being an occasional member of small groups. I have become a Chaplaincy visitor at Southmead Hospital once a week and am now the Bristol West Deanery representative on the Diocesan LLM/Reader's Council. I have set myself a project for the next decade - to walk the whole of the Wales Coast Path and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I have worshipped at St Peter's since 2006, and was licensed as a Lay Minster in September 2015. I am married and the mother to five children including two sets of twins. I work part time as a preschool administrator. In St Peter's I am particularly involved in co ordinating house groups and in a range of work with children and young people. I have enjoyed being part of a local book group for the last 11 years with other local mums. This led me to take up running when a few of us decided to try and get fit together. I can't keep up with my husband and teenage sons, but still enjoy getting out, as long as the weather is not too bad.

I moved to Henleaze in July 2017 and am passionate about supporting my local church and community. I am married to Helen and we have 3 children, I am a qualified Primary school teacher and have taught in schools in London, Egypt, Russia, Bristol and most notably Swindon! I enjoy cooking, eating the cooking, most sports, camping, reading and a bit of guitar playing. I have a heart for working with children and youth and want to see our young people grow as disciples of Jesus, as they explore their faith, wrestle with big ideas, develop a prayerful lifestyle and start to live out their faith in everyday life.
