About Michelle
Michelle, originally from Birmingham moved to North Northumberland with her family when she was young. Today Michelle is a dedicated mother of two and a very proud Grandmother to her recently born Grandson (We agree, she simply doesn´t look old enough to be a granny…..”Primark Vitamin C cream, twice per day” Michelle tells us). When Michelle isn´t working and gets the rare chance to let her hair down, she likes to disconnect by going to music festivals and watching live music (a huge Killers fan), reading, camping and visiting new places.
