Author: Joan Frankham

I am a recently retired Irish woman, I lived in Zimbabwe for over 25 years, and returned to Ireland in 2002. I like travelling, writing, blogging, hillwalking, and have recently taken up golf. My children are all grown up and scattered all around the world, - Zimbabwe, Norway, Dubai and Dublin (more places for me to visit!) but it’s great to have them home so that I can indulge my passion for making ‘mammy dinners’ (usually roast beef and Yorkshire pudding). Life is good. You can reach Joan at her Retirement and Beyond blog or contact her via email.
