My granddaughter is called Charlotte and she is 12 years old. Zak is the latest addition to the family. He is seven months old and gives us much pleasure.

My husband is retired but keeps himself busy as he is a School governor and veryinvolved in rugby.

Most Saturdays he is out watching a game. In the past Year he has been invigilating at Havering College. He also spends time Gardening I started off my working life in a bank, where I worked for nine years before giving up when I had my first daughter.

I found it very lonely at home at first, but gradually I made friends and joined groups becoming very involved in little children which led me to a job in a playgroup when my daughter was four.

She was able to come with me and enjoyed the new experiences and we got to know many people from the local area. I stayed here for five years going to evening classes to gain a qualification in childcare which I have been involved in ever since.
