My husband and I have lived in Countesthorpe for over 40 years.
It is a small South Leicestershire village Countesthorpe.
I have researched my family history. for some years and have published most of my findings on this web site.
Since I left work, I have enjoyed studying computing and Web Site Design both at South Leicestershire College (HNC 2006) and with the Open University.
I am studying earth Sciences with the Open University and have attended two Geology residential courses at Durham University.

If you want to study while meeting a great bunch of people and getting lots of exercise, this is the residential course for you.
Each year we spend at least two weeks in Madeira
The people are so friendly and we love the gardens and scenery but most of all, the mild winters.
