Born in the 60s
Where I went to school: Chisipite, Harare, Zimbabwe
I'm 60, my 2 young adult kids live in UK and USA respectively. Things I can't live without: Cape Town - my cottage in Simon's Town which I visit every year and Cederberg mountains; my yoga practice and teaching Iyengar yoga; sunshine and wildlife in Zimbabwe - where I grew up, my sister and family live there. Ballet and contemporary dance, art exhibitions, indie films, theatre, hiking and reading. I love the River Cam near where I live in Cambridge, for its serene beauty under the wide sky.
