I was born and raised in Suffolk.  My family being Abbotts from Harkstead and Holbrook.

I lived in the Home Counties for almost 20 years while working in London for HMRC. I now live and work from home in Stutton.

I am married to Rik who works for the University of Suffolk in Ipswich and we have two daughters who are both at primary school. 

We also have two rescue lurchers, one who is a Pets As Therapy Read2Dog at our daughter's school and the other who is very nervous of other dogs.  We also have a few rescue hens.

I enjoy running and spending time with my family.
