Call me one of the "Fluffy Bunny Brigade" if you must, but I passionately believe that we must stop abusing animals for our own ends, and that medical science is being held back by the use of animals in experiments and research into the human condition. It is misleading and wasteful, cruel and unnecessary, and it's high time it was stopped.

I live with The Very Reverend Malcolm and his sister Tiggie who I have had since they were kittens, (if you roll your mouse over my mug-shot you'll see them) and I enjoy my garden, red wine, (white wine and rosé), music (not jazz), and spending time with my daughter and my two grand-daughters whom I adore.

I can't sing but I do! I love travelling on trains - particularly in France, and driving, particularly on my own so that I can sing.
