WHO ME?

I wear glasses just like this intelligent looking dog. Occasionally I wear contact lenses but I doubt the dog does.

I’ve been both a full-time and a freelance copywriter for many years but now I’m full-time freelance (if you know what I mean). Any potential clients can check out the Wordsmith page and feel free to get in touch if you need a hand.

I’m a Gemini. Years ago the advertising industry was full of creative Geminis. Or being the sign of the twins, did it just seem that way?

What else am I? A wife (aka The Better Half), a mother (aka Mum), a stepmother (aka Wicked), a grandmother (aka Nanna) and a step grandmother (aka Chrissie).

I enjoy cooking, especially with the Thermomix, which I call Chrisomixing. I lean towards vegetarian-friendly cuisines like Indian, Thai and Moroccan and occasionally eat seafood so I call myself a ‘vegequarium’.

If you browse through my recipes, you’ll also discover why my pantry is overflowing with jars of chutneys, pickles and jams.

Finally I think I should mention that I don’t like cricket. Oh no, I love it.
