I have a quirky sense of humour and love the extraordinary. I also love arts, crafts, cooking, sewing & photography.
I met my husband, Scott, through Security / Police work and we have been very happily married since 2001, living first in Avalon and then Bemboka. We moved to the Far South Coast area in June 2007 and love the friendliness of country and village life. We have a family of Ragdoll cats. We have recently taken on a renovation project that will keep us going for the next 20 years. I performed my first wedding in 1988, as a State Officer in NSW Attorney General's Department in Local Courts. I worked at NSW Births Deaths & Mariages as Marriage Receptionist, checking all the forms etc for the legal requirements, witnessing documents, etc and also in the Late Registrations section, following up and finding missing registrations and gathering sufficient evidence to send to Commonwealth Attorney General for a ruling on validity of a missing marriage. |
