• I was born in Scarborough 23 October 1942.
• I was a shy, introverted and asthmatic child so you probably didn't notice me at school. 
• Getting away from home was a great help and I came out of my shell at training college (1961-64 Avery Hill, London).  I even sang and played the guitar publicly.  I became known as Mo to my friends at this time.
• I married Frank, a Croat, in Greenwich on April Fools' Day 1966 -- against the odds we are still together
• We have three sons: Nicholas is living in Croatia, Alexander is nearby in Lincoln, Jonathan is in Perth, Australia.
• Alexander has given us our one and only grandchild, Lauren, born in April 1999.
• We have lived in many places: London; Calgary [Alberta, Canada]; Olean [New York, USA]; Lexington [Kentucky, USA]; near Manchester back in England; and now near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. 
• I am a lecturer in the History of Art for the University of Hull's Centre for Lifelong Learning.   I also teach some Sculpture, Drawing and Painting.
• In my first life I was mathematically and scientifically orientated, dropping 'History' at school as soon as I could.  I am still very interested in scientific discovery, however, and I like to think that the logical and rational approach of the mathematician remains with me.

• How do I come to be doing this web site?  I was daft enough to criticise the previous one.
• I had taught myself to do web design by creating four earlier websites, two for genealogy (I am a member of the Guild of One-name Studies), one for our village, and one for my husband's retirement interests (primarily breeding and training labradors, to which I am allergic!)
