what they love about living in the Vale.
Who are you and what do you do?

L I’m a self employed hairdresser of
fifteen years and work alongside
Amanda, sharing work space at
The Business Centre.
What do you most like about the

A The mixture of seaside and
countryside around you.
Where would you recommend
Vale Life readers go for a totally
unforgettable dining experience
in the Vale of Glamorgan?

Need I say more!
A Keith Richards from the Rolling
Stones!
Favourite town in the Vale of
Glamorgan and why?

Christmas with the reindeer and in
summer for the French markets.
Favourite Vale of Glamorgan
landmark or attraction that is a
must to see?
A The Barrage at Penarth, watching it
operating fascinates me.
L Alexandra Park, Penarth front for
its fabulous sea views.
If there is one thing missing from
the County, what would it be?
L I think with the Vale’s plans in the
pipeline to develop our Waterfront
is very exciting and much needed.
A More venues for live bands and
some better nightlight for a wider
range of ages.

A The Vale Show. It’s fantastic for
old and new business to promote
themselves and a super day out
for the family.

L Big Mac Wholly Soul Band as we
had them to play at our wedding
so they made our day very special.

without and why?
A I can’t live without my FHI
straighteners, they heat up in
seconds and transform my bed hair
effortlessly.
L Of course my corkscrew and my ID
makeup for its quick application
and flawless finish.
If you weren’t in your current
job, what would you be doing?
A Someone in the medical field like a
paramedic or a surgeon.

shopper. It would be lovely to be
let loose with someone else’s
money!
Any lifelong ambition?
L To travel and see more American
cities and states.
A Definitely see more of the world.
I’d love to visit the Ice Hotel in
Lapland and the Canadian Rockies.
If someone asked you to sum
yourself up in three words,
what
would those words be?
L Sociable, creative and a
perfectionist.
A Bottle – of – Champagne!!
