Introducing myself
Hi everyone, I'm a 58 year old teacher called Anne. I have lived in Aberdeen Scotland for 40 years since I came up from Essex, England to go to University when I was 18. After 3 weeks I met Sandy, and seven years later we got married.
I studied Zoology, then an MSc in Parasitology but went on to become a nurse as it was easier to do do shift work and have my family, at the same time. After 10 years of nursing I was burnt out and over stressed so 20 years ago I retrained and became a primary school teacher - best thing I ever did. I have two wonderful children, my son who is a physics teacher and a married daughter ( with a wonderful husband) who teaches dancing and drama. I am so incredibly proud of them all.
I have taught sick children both in hospital and in their own homes for 13 years and although upsetting at times it has to be the most rewarding job in teaching. I am the ultimate jack of all trades - I teach all ages all subjects! It never gets boring!
Equally important to me is my 14 year volunteering role as a Scout Beaver Leader, 6-8year olds. I also make costumes for our annual Scout Gang Show. My Gang Show family of friends mean the world to me!
I love sewing, I quilt, make presents and adore my grand dogs!
My most exciting role is still to come - becoming a grandmother for the first time in October! My daughter is having a baby boy and I cannot wait. I just wished I lived nearer to Edinburgh so I could see and help them more. !
