I am a retired former Payroll Administrator, Office Manager and Company Director, although I actually still work part-time as a Payroll Administrator in order to keep busy. I am married to John and we have one son, Peter, who currently lives in Thailand. My hobbies and interests are interior design, gardening, reading and travelling abroad.

Some of my favourite things:

Drink: White wine, piña colada.

Food: Lobster, oysters, Indian, Italian, Mexican.

Holiday places: The Algarve, Portugal and the Gulf Coast, Florida.

In October 2009 John, Peter and myself went on our first family holiday together for almost 25 years, to Altura in the Algarve, Portugal, and we all had a wonderful time. The weather was fantastic even though it was October, and we were able to sunbathe and go for walks along the enormously long beach every day. Here are some of the photos that Peter took while we were there (from my Picasa Web Album):



The rest of this page contains my favourite free online games together with related wallpaper backgrounds from Peter's websites, all featuring famous characters from popular cartoons, films and video games. There are also links to my family's many different places on the world wide web, including our various individual blogs which we each regularly update.
