About Me
I am an American married to an Englishman. We live most of the time either in the UK or in the Lot, France. Most of my early life I lived in New England in Connecticut and Vermont. I have also lived in Washington, DC. where I worked in politics and also for trade associations. Now I have my own virtual business doing all kinds of administrative work. In recent years I have spent a great deal of time in Kent, Connecticut, where my parents lived until 2004.
