I live near Stamford in Lincolnshire with my husband of nearly 50 years. I have two grown up daughters and four beautiful little granddaughters. I am available to conduct weddings, partnerships and namings in and around Stamford, Grantham, Oakham and Bourne.

Why I am a Celebrant

More about me

I am retired from a rewarding career working in human resources in the science sector. My professional life gave me plenty of experience of public speaking, and of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. Promoting the benefits of diversity was always a part of my role, and I enjoy making ceremonies special for all sorts of different couples and families.

Now that I am ‘retired’ I am able to enjoy more time doing the things I love most – spending time with my family and friends, looking after my granddaughters, walking in the countryside, Zumba, visiting new places and going to shows and concerts. I really love flowers and creating beautiful designs with them and I am a self confessed Strictly addict!

Why I am a Humanist

For me humanism is about living life in a way that recognises that this is our only life, and that we should appreciate the beauty of the world we live in, value the people we share our lives with and do everything we can to make the world a better place for everyone.

As a humanist I put my faith in what the evidence of scientific discovery tells me rather than the words written in any one of many ancient unverified texts. And I try to behave well towards other people and the environment just because I think that is the right thing to do, not because I think I will be rewarded or punished for it in another life.

I respect the rights of people to hold religious beliefs as long as in doing so they do not indoctrinate or harm other people.
