Born in England, one of twins and last born of five children, I was a surprise addition.

My father worked for large textile manufacturing company in Yorkshire and my mother looked after their children, nurturing us in our formative years.

We migrated to Australia in 1959 to thrive in its climate and experience the Bush firsthand. We mingled with many nationalities at a hostel for two years before moving to a commission home in the Melbourne suburb of Doveton, where we were schooled and raised.

I met my husband at a party in 1967, after which we married and had three children. We now have five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; all blessings to our respective families.

It has always been a wish of mine to have these spiritual works published and I chose Animal Dreaming because they are wholly Australian and everything has consequently fallen into place.
