My life, my family, my work

My Family

I have been married to my husband Frank for 40 years!  We celebrated our Ruby Wedding anniversary in December 2007.  Frank has his own website, and you can find out more about him there - there's simply too much to say!

My eldest daughter is Victoria, who has just emigrated to America for work, with her husband Dave.  They plan to be there for a couple of years and then hopefully they'll be back.  They have two gorgeous little spuds, Robert (9) and Amy (5).  We go over and visit them as much as possible.

Virginia lives nearby with her husband Andrew, who is a techie whiz and helps me with my computer.  Virginia runs her own business from home, Corbett Design Ltd, setting up and managing websites - including the site you are on now!  Their little girl Summer Rose was born in December 2008.

Richard is my first boy, and he lives in London.  He hasn't married yet, but has a huge circle of friends and loves to travel to exotic places.  Richard studied computer science at university, and has since worked designing and programming computer games.

Rosalynne, or Ros, is my youngest daughter, and she lives almost opposite me with her husband Malachy, who works in finance in London.  It's fantastic for me because I can lavish lots of attention on her two boys, "the J's", particularly when Ros is at work at the local NHS hospital.  The J's are the scrumptious, smiley, Jamie (5) and Jake (2).


Finally, my youngest child Chris lives with his wife Bex, who is a teacher, in Surrey.  Chris joined the army from University, where he studied business management, and reached the rank of Captain.  He has since left to work in project management in London.  Their son Oliver (Ollie) is nearly two now, and their daughter Kitty was born in October 2008.

Family matters

Last year I celebrated my Ruby Wedding Anniversary with my husband Frank.  As an army wife I've had an exciting life, moving house frequently and living all over the world, including 2 memorable years in New Zealand.

 

I have five children and now six grandchildren with one more on the way, so my family life has also been very fulfilling.
