I love a wedding and that's really part of the reason I decided to become a celebrant. I left my career in education nearly 10 years ago wanting to do something else I could love (and not have to work a term time job!)
I live near Norwich in Norfolk, with my significant other, who has been a major factor in me training and becoming qualified as a celebrant and Mrs Meekings, our cat, who hasn't and really isn't interested in anything unless it's on his terms. Yes, he's a boy and yes he has a girl's name; he's very modern. (There's a story there-he was named after someone lovely I used to work with).
Although I live in Norfolk, I'm originally from Yorkshire and love visiting whenever I can. The plan is to relocate there one day!
I love a good podcast, particuarly a documentary or a drama and I have to confess to listening to The Archers too!
I really enjoy baking (nothing fancy, just good homecooked cakes which might not look swish but taste great). I'll never make Bake Off that's for sure!
My picture is me with my late dad who I know would have been super proud of me doing this!
If you'd like to know whether I'll be a good fit for you and your significant other, please do get in touch and let's meet virtually as a starter for 10.
