Biography
What was your worst experience as a trainee?
I have a very sensitive stomach and gag reflex and when I was in Wills & Probate I had to attend a house clearance. Jenny very kindly spared me the details, as she knows how “delicate” I am, but unfortunately the next door neighbour wanted to tell me all about the big dark stain on the kitchen floor!
What do you do at weekends?
I am an amateur boxing judge, so between September and June will normally be found at a show somewhere in the south west. Otherwise, I go to the gym, treat Tyson (my 6 year old German Shepherd) to long muddy walks, my husband to home-cooked, non-microwaved meals and myself to a good bottle of red.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what two luxury items would you take?
Is a handsome “Man Friday” who can cook a luxury? If not, a radio and a TV (which miraculously work without electricity!) so I can have music and watch Eastenders.
