Down In The Barn

I was born in Leicester, England in 1953, and with my family, emigrated to Australia in 1962. I grew up the eldest in a close-knit family of three sisters and one brother. We lived in various towns all over Victoria during my childhood, as my father was a Station Master with the Victorian Railways, and we were always being moved around to different locations with his work. I am happily married with a husband and three grown up children, two sons and a daughter. We have seven grandchildren, six girls and one boy. Our family business of Market Gardening and later Flower Growing has kept me very busy over the years. Now as a retiree, I am living my childhood dream of writing a series of children's books together with my youngest sister Pam, who is the Graphic Artist of our books.
