About Me
- RappinRach
- I was brought up in Norfolk, lived away during 20s & much of 30s, then returned. Live in a beautiful place, and indulge in my main pastimes of cooking, birdwatching & internet surfing. I'm an active member of my trade union & care passionately about the society we live in - I want it to have a fair support system, and to value education, the natural environment & people, not just money.
