Experience in my civil service career and working for the Methodist Church, opened my eyes to the poverty that exists in our rich country and gave me a passion to try to do something about it. After retirement I became a trustee and then chair of Church Action on Poverty and this led me to the Iona Community. A Methodist Local Preacher, I was inspired by the worship in the Abbey and often use the published resources. I live with my husband of 51 years in a small Gloucestershire town and love walking in the countryside around us.
What makes me laugh out loud are jokes and odd things that happen when my husband, son and I are together. What moves me at my deepest level is the beauty of the west coast of Scotland – Iona, of course, but particularly Knoydart.
