Read the 2011 Annual Reunion report here
I was extremely shy in my youth and Sibford gave me a huge amount of confidence to enable me to cope with the outside world, especially in the retail trade when I went to work in Selfridges in Oxford Street. Also, the friendships that were formed at Sibford were very special and remain so today which is a great credit to the school. I married at 20 and have a son called Adam who now works in social care in London. Following a divorce, I married Nigel, who has been in the Wine Trade all his working life and is now semi retired. We live in a village called Heath and Reach near Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. One of the highlights of our life together was in 1992 when Nigel became Master of the Worshipful Company of Distillers, a City of London Livery Company. I was his ‘Mistress’. We visited many Livery Companies and met an amazing number of interesting people. The year finished with a Ladies Banquet at Guild Hall and I heard my mother say “I never thought I would live to see my daughter on the arm of the Lord Mayor of London”. We also enjoyed overseas trips because Nigel has represented England Hockey over 65s. I have worked throughout my life and since retiring have become an active member of the village WI and Secretary of the Heath Village Barn, an old historic Meeting hall. I also thoroughly enjoy painting in water colours, making jewellery and I attend a weekly yoga class. I love cats and have a chocolate point Siamese called Bournville who rules the roost! I have enjoyed my time on the SOSA Committee and I look forward with great anticipation the next couple of years.
