I am Mum to two young people, now aged 22 and 19 years, who were students at two of our amazing local schools, Boxgrove Primary and George Abbot. They are now both off at University and making their way in the world, which is exciting to see! I live in Merrow with my husband, Thomas and our friendly dog, Waffle…here she is below!
