About me

Grit & Gold

I’m 100% Blackburn blood and Northern grit, with roots in Hampshire, where they say: “Hampshire born, Hampshire bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head.” The “strong in the arm” part I’ll happily take; the rest? I’ll leave that to your judgment!

 

Family is what keeps me grounded.  My Dad always said  I was born before my time, while Mum is usually telling me to stop sticking my neck out.  And Auntie?  She just beams and says, 

“Hello sunshine!  Watch out, everyone, here comes trouble!” 

I’m real, driven, and deeply passionate about everything I take on. I dance through life the best I can, and when all is said and done, I’ll be proud to say I did it my way.
