Sarah, Lynn and Kate

This picture was taken at our home in February on the one day that we had our family of four together in London. With two of the family living abroad and two here in London, "family days" are rare, and of course, given the stage of our life this is only the beginning.

My two girls are something my husband and I often refer to as proof that we have "done good work". They are unique from one another but share of love of each other and family that we cherish. They are both bright and gifted, and above all sensitive and open minded. They have been afforded opportunities that most would only dream of having, and have appreciated and grown from each of them.

I am so proud of the choices they have made and the young women they are becoming!

Lynn and Ann

This picture was taken in November 2007 of my mother and me on Portobello Road. My mother is both a challenge and an inspiration to me. She has more energy than most 30 year olds and she has the ability to talk to anyone (and often tell them more than they need to know).

I think of myself as very different than my mother - organized and more sensible. Yet I am grateful when I give in to the creative and intuitive side of me that I know comes from her. And I know that I have an ability to bring people together and facilitate learning. I'm sure that this is a gift from her.

Of course, she will tell you that she is an artist and therefore won't have a computer. (Email is evil)but somehow I'll get her to put her 2 cents in on this site when she visits in April!

Jennifer and Nancy at Brown's


The picture of Jennifer and her mother was taken as they arrived for English Tea on Boxing Day in front of the legendary Brown's Hotel. Brown's Hotel first opened in 1837. Agatha Christie would often spend time at Brown's where she would observe the guests and then include characters like them in her writings.
