Extended Profile
I am a teaching assistant working in Reception (4-5 Year olds). My favourite subject to teach is Literacy. I have created over 30 storysacks at my school. I wild release children's books on a Bookcrossing Tree near my school every Wednesday.
In my spare time I like to get involved in community projects. I organise the Village fete and the Village pantomimes. My favourite village club is Gardeners' Club where I am the secretary.
The most exciting day of my life was when I went to the Queen's Garden Party in 2006. I felt like royalty.
I share my home with a lovely cat called Tiggy that I adopted from the RSPCA.
Up until Oct 2008 I was a carer for my mum. When she passed away suddenly bookcrossers worldwide were very supportive.
Shortly after this I made the decision to attend my first convention and travelled to Christchurch, New Zealand where I had the most amazing time and met some super people.
Since then I have become a convention junkie! I was lucky enough to be one of the folks who made it to a great convention in Amsterdam despite the volcano. I have also been to Uncons in Boston USA, which was a really friendly group in a beautiful city and to
UK Uncons in Edinburgh Swindon and Nottingham. I have recently returned from the fabulous 10th birthday convention BCinDC. Amazing. I am now booked for the Dublin Convention and hope to go to Sweden also in 2013 and possibly Melborne in 2014, if they win the
bid.
Last year I joined the UK Uncon Committee as Events Co-Ordinator and will be helping to organise the 2012 UK Uncon in Colchester.
Thanks to whoever gave me wings for the 3rd year running. Woohoo. (I think I know who you are!)
