Meet Diane …
Hi – I was born in London at St Mary’s, Paddington and survived being 2 and a quarter pounds and three months premature all those years ago! I have lived on the South Coast for a number of years, travelled to New Zealand with my parents as my father was offered a position of managing a large hotel in Auckland. I moved from Brighton 8 years ago to live at Isleham Marina in a lodge by the river Lark, surrounded by trees. Pure chance as I was reading a magazine and saw an advert. The doors opened and never closed. It is very peaceful here and I love it. I have 3 feral cats who I adore.
I have held P.A roles in the media, travel company, American Express and am now semi-retired. When I moved here I took on part time work at care homes, Newmarket races, blood donor centre. Obviously not all at the same time! I joined various volunteer groups including W.I, helped supporting homeless runs in Cambridge, Cats Protection League and Steel Bones.
I sing in a local choir, enjoy the countryside, cooking, walking, interior design, visiting theatre, museums etc. I love gardening although an absolute beginner but am learning fast.
I am delighted to be working with Steel Bones as a Project Co-ordinator to launch meet-ups an fitness sessions and to be part of their growth and excitement for the future. Such an amazing charity founded by Emma and Leigh Joy-Staines who are inspirational and I am so glad I met them when I moved here. All just meant to be.
My motto is to live and enjoy life after coming through a major operation – this is not a dress rehearsal.
