I’m not actually a vicar’s wife yet, but I will be in a few weeks’ time as my husband has recently been appointed as the vicar of a multi-cultural inner-city parish in the West Midlands. We’ve already been serving in a similar parish for the last few years.
We have three small children, the Queen, the Joker and the Engineer, a cat with a mutant tail, sofas with tears in the arms, too much laundry and vital small plastic parts from toys all over the house.
Before becoming a full time mum I was a chartered mechanical engineer working in the water industry, mainly designing water and sewage treatment plants for the developing world.
I hate housework and love talking and baking.
