A day in the life of Lesley

Background

I was born and bred in Nottingham before going to Manchester University for 3 years, but once qualified I returned “home” and married my “local boy” husband whom I had met at Burton Joyce tennis club. Three children later we will celebrate our pearl (30th) wedding anniversary this year by going on a special holiday.

Interests

I enjoy playing tennis regularly and skiing when I can get away. I love cooking and experimenting with different recipe, or getting out into the garden when the weather is fine. But first and foremost, I adore my kids and being a mum to them is the best thing in the world.
