Introducing myself

Hello, my name is Kerry and I'm 55 (nearly 56!) years old. I've been married to John for 35 years. We have 2 grown up children who have also settled down in Cardiff, and 4 fabulous grandchildren, aged between 2 & 9.

I live with John and our 10 year old dog called Paddy, in a house that has many happy memories of our children growing up. I work full-time (shift-work) in a large hospital in Cardiff as an administrator, which doesn't leave me too much spare time. Lately I've been trying to live a healthier lifestyle - better diet, exercise etc but I have to say I'm failing miserably at present!

I started to volunteer for Wired In after my son, Kevin, had got involved with them during his recovery from drug addiction. I have made some good friends from the ranks of Wired In, and really enjoy spending time with them, both professionally and socially.
