CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an independent woman living on my own in London, where I have lived since I left university. I live in a deprived part of the city, but love its diversity and vibrancy.
I am the eldest of 4 children and grew up in a very happy mixed race family - my father was a Parsi from India and my mother English.
I retired from full time work five years ago and spend Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays looking after my two grandchildren.
Travelled in Tibet - fabulous - and Hong Kong, equally fabulous but totally different. Spent 2 weeks in Peru in 2011, a whole week on the Amazon which was fantastic, India in 2013 and Indonesia in 2014.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone has something to offer to others. My philosophy can be summed up by an African politician (Joshua Nkomo I think) who said something like 'No-one should have more until everyone has enough'
