Anne joined the Royal Air Force at age 17 and enjoyed a career in engineering for many years. She then followed her love of the built environment, working on many varied and complex projects in the UK Construction Industry. Anne has had the pleasure of working with some of the most wonderful people, in the toughest circumstances. Through this experience as well as her travels, she has gained an understanding of how complicated, or how simple life can be. She now resides in Essex with her family but remains passionate about many places she has lived and makes trips as often as she can to Liverpool, Scotland and Devon to name a few.
