Hannah
Hi I am Hannah, mother of two children and wife to David. I moved back to Painswick in the Cotswolds after a stint in Manchester and London and am loving being back home after 20 years away. I love all that Country life has to offer, from long country walks, village life to growing vegetables, walking my dog, collecting milk and meat from the local farms and reaping the benefits of the fine country air.
I also work voluntarily for the local Painswick Community Support group helping local villagers with their needs, last year I was awarded a British Empire medal for my services to the community.
