I'm often asked for my recipes, for which my husband Terry and son Tim have been patient guinea pigs over the years. Here is a small collection of some of the more popular ones. They are generally designed to have lots of flavour, be quick and easy to make, and to yield plenty of portions!

In my spare time, I am also a volunteer representative for Traidcraft, an organisation set up to promote fairer trading practices with 3rd world countries. Colleagues and neighbours can order from me via my Traidcraft@rigdenage site.

Another hobby of mine over the years has been poetry, some of which I've included here. My poems tend to be short, and perhaps deceptively simple. More can be found in my book, Mis-Steps and Dances.

We've also developed a recent fascination for the inland waterways, and have tried a few canal holidays. Some photos and trip reports are available here with thumbnails for speed of download.

My work at BT Adastral Park as an inhouse consultant involves user interface evaluations and advising on the interaction design of graphical user interfaces and web sites. My focus is on good conceptual design and structure, consistency and usability. I also write general design guidelines for developers, and styleguides for individual projects.
