The Family In Me
I definitely inherited an adventurous spirit & a lust for life from my grandparents.
My grandfather Dick Perryman was a jockey (I updated the tradition to DJ). He and my granny P explored the world in the golden age of sea travel. They taught me the Charleston dance, how to have a good laugh at life and how to mix a good gin & tonic.
My maternal grandfather Lionel Long is a descendant of William Long-espe a signatory of the Magna Carta. He and my grannie Long were tobacco farmers in Africa and told me many tales of their adventures - including eloping.
My parents were always involved in theatre so I spent a lot of my childhood backstage fascinated by the machinations of creativity & fantasy.
May the adventures continue..
