Family

My husband Paul is from Northern Ireland and works in software. After 7 years together living in NI, we migrated back to Pendleton and have made a lovely home here with our cocker spaniel ‘Guinness’. 

It’s great to be back near my dad, siblings and extended family — many of which still live here in the beautiful community of Pendleton.
