What do you do for fun?/Hobbies and interests?

​

I always have to be doing something, preferably outside! I’m really into crafts, spend lots of time walking the hound and love spending time by the sea.

​

How did you get involved in the WI?

​

I wanted to meet some new people in Cambridge and had always wanted to join the WI (but thought I had to wait until I was at least 70). It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

 

Why did you join the committee?

​

They made me. . . Only kidding. I wanted to become more involved (mainly because I get to hang out with the other committee members more often) and I like a new challenge. They didn’t tell me about the spreadsheet though. . .

 

What is your favourite thing about the WI?

​

Definitely the people. We are such a diverse group but I love how well everyone gets on and there is always someone interesting to talk to. I also love the variety of speakers and activities we have.

 

What is your worst habit?

​

Putting smiley faces at the end of everything I write, being horrifically untidy and never finishing anything :) 

 

Who would you most like to meet and why?

​

Martin Clunes. I feel we are destined to be best friends.

 

What is your craft? 

​

I love anything crafty. My main hobby at the moment is crochet and I’m hoping to start a little Christmas decorations business this year.

 

What is/are your guilty pleasure(s)?

​

I have been known to drive to the supermarket, armed with a spoon, so that I can scoff an entire trifle in my car on the days when life gets too much! I love trifle days.

 

What are your committee responsibilities? 

​

I am treasurer in training! I’m responsible for paying in any money we take and will soon be responsible for the accounts.

 

What do you do? 

​

I am a Crown Court clerk. I dress up in a Harry Potter gown and I am the Judge’s right-hand woman. I sit at the front of court, keeping a log of the hearing and reading out some quite obscure charges to the defendants. It’s hard work but every day is very, very different!

 

What is your poison? 

​

Cocktails! Or a snowball :)
