Job Role - To keep everyone on their toes

 

Background - I was born on 18th February 2006 in Derbyshire to a working class family.

I moved to live in the countryside in Lincolnshire when I was seven weeks old and so I am a real country girl. My first real love was Biggles, although he was a bit of a sugar daddy, but he sadly died at the ripe old age of 15 and a half in 2009. Monty is my new best friend.
