As Russell Howard once said 'at the age of three we like splashing in puddles and custard'. I haven't changed much since then!

I'm not entirely sure how I ended up as a MHFA Instructor, but maybe that's what keeps me in awe of those I meet and keen to give them the best experience of what can be a tricky subject. For me it makes every course an adventure and a privilege to be trusted by those who join me in undergoing that journey. It's not something I take lightly. So if you are debating joining me this is what you can expect.

I am:

- keen to understand you

- still loving custard. And most puddings. And cheeses....in fact most edibles will find a home here. Except Marmite.

- keen on both cats and dogs and not entirely sure why people get so excited by which you prefer

- love being out in the garden though it's all very optimistic

- believe people are doing the best they can with the resources they have

- keen to challenge myself. This year it's been joining a choir and looking at doing a mini Tri.

I am not

- enthusiastic with those driving in the middle lane

- keen on marmite...but I think you've guessed that.

- good at dealing with faffing

- able to watch horror films. They literally keep going in my head for days afterwards. There are better things to do.
