Your 2021 Mantra?
Keep your head up and heart open.
I’m like so many others all over the world, separated from my loved ones due to covid and closed borders. I try to stay positive and know that it will get better soon - it is for the best for everyone to stay safe and healthy (al- though I do want to selfishly jump on a plane so I can hug my family)
If you could live in any decade what would it be?
I think I’d thrive in the late 70s
Your Secret Talent / one thing people don’t know about you?
I knit ALOT. Absolute wool fanatic
