I am a midwife and a nurse, semi retired. I work mainly as an interim Director or Associate Director in our national health service and private hospitals. My husband Steve is also semi retired and now only supports one business as their accountant. We have three married children who live in London, York and Bath with their young families. I travel quite often with my friend Hong who lives in England but is Malaysian, as we enjoy travel and eating world foods and both of our husbands are less adventurous travellers..
