Suburb: Pimlico.
AKA: Nein.
I’m renowned for: Being directionally challenged.
Only a local would know… that the Prawn Bucket on Boundary Street no longer sells prawns!
My most memorable holiday was… all are memorable, but a very special one was a cruise in 2015 because I married my lovely husband in front of lots of family and friends.
Right now I wish I was… getting a massage!
My favourite day is: Christmas Day. I love it as all of my family and friends are with me and happy, celebrating our year. We always have an Orphans’ Christmas and invite anyone who doesn’t have somewhere special to go. I love cooking for everyone and watching them enjoy themselves.
The biggest influences in my life are: My children, they have shaped me into the person I am today.
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… I always have lots of funny things happen to me, but they always seem to be traumatic or embarrassing for me or only funny if you were there!
Someone famous I met was: I cooked for David Bowie on several occasions when I worked in Bermuda.
My motto is: Do it right the first time.
MY FAVOURITE
Song Close To Me (The Cure). For the memories.
