What’s Happening
Hello and welcome to my website, this is where you can find out everything you want to know about me. From the my work as an actress, presenter and broadcaster, to the work I do for charity.
It's over three years since my beloved mother 'Marmie' passed away. I miss her so but feel her presence in everything I do. A beautiful woman whose legacy lives on and will do forever.
I have been in the House of Lords almost 2 years now, and I am loving it! Had a ‘who would have thought’ moment when I sat listening to President Obama addressing Parliament. I even managed to give him a hug!
My first novel ‘Sea of Tears’ is now out. It’s getting some excellent reviews.
I was 62 in September 2011 and I intend to grow old stylishly!
I did a lovely book signing at day’s Bookstore in Brigetown while I was in Barbados at Christmas. Lots of people turned up as I did an interview on ‘Good Morning Barbados on local TV.
Many people who lived in the UK and have moved back turned up as the book is about that subject.
