I saw her at Stansted airport a couple of weeks ago, so no idea what area of the Uk she lives, but I'm pretty sure she's English.

I recognise her from the telly. Probably around 60. Slim. Nice looking. Not a huge household name but definitely recognisable. Auburn hair, collar/shoulder length. It might have been dyed, but I feel she's probably a natural redhead. A bit freckly.

I think she's maybe been in some long running show like Emmerdale or Holby or something like that. But equally she could be a presenter. It's really bugging me that I can't place her.

Okay, I've just been through a list of 400 British actresses going back to silent movies and she's not any of them.

Back to the drawing board. Perhaps she's not an actress at all.

I feel the weight of responsibility to make sure I can bring this thread to a happy conclusion, eventually. I don't want to let you all down. 😂
