I belong to the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy in England and at present am living in a community of eight mostly elderly Sisters in Hull in Yorkshire.

I am fortunate to have had an interesting life, having spent 16+ years in northern Kenya in a desert area establishing education for girls.  We started primary and secondary education and a small polytechnic there. 

I have also spent ten years on Central Leadership doing the work of Congregational Bursar - with a lot of help!  I then moved to Oldham where we sold our house to the Coptic Church.  And so to Hull.

I enjoy reading, knitting and cooking in my present semi- retirement!
