Now retired from the world of education, I have been a teacher, a lecturer in teacher training and a Community Education officer.
During this career I was involved in running an outdoor activities centre, as well as being responsible for the Glamorgan Summer School, the Adult Literacy Scheme and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme in Mid Glamorgan.

I have also worked part-time for a project to open the Youth Service to young people with disabilities and for Gateway clubs for people with learning difficulties.

I have a degree in French and English, a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education, a Diploma of Advanced Studies in Education and a Doctorate in Education. I have studied socio-linguistics and Adult Learning with the Open University and I have learned Welsh, in which I am now fairly fluent.
I still have a lot of "hands - on" experience in education. I have run a French class for the U3A (University of the Third Age) and as a volunteer I have been hearing the children read at Litchard Primary School for some years.

I am interested in environmental matters, I keep fit, I swim, ski, walk my dogs and write.
