One thing people might be surprised to know about you?
When I was 15 I was Carnival Queen attendant in Milford Haven. Terry Wogan was the celebrity who opened it and I met him and had a lovely chat....he gave me a cuddle and kissed my cheek! I felt blessed by the Blarney Stone .....if only I’d known I’d be following in his footsteps 50 years later!
