New name - Phillipa

Report
HereBeFuckery · 29/11/2021 22:40

Phillipa - Phil to her friends - is 36, medium height, dark blonde hair with subtle lowlights. She's always worn very little makeup, often just mascara and a touch of powder as she has very clear skin and a naturally healthy glow.

Always smiling, Phil lives for her three dogs - two Springer spaniels and a rescue greyhound.

Although she probably owns other shoes, Phil almost exclusively wears wellies, often her husband's, since she is usually in a rush to leave the house, and too busy checking she has packed dog treats, poo bags and a spare lead, to look at what she is putting on her feet.

Phil has been married to Dominic, an IT developer, since her early twenties, having met him in Fresher's week at St Andrew's.

Phil works in publishing, and despite her apparently slightly scatty exterior, can spot a bestseller at 300 paces; as a result, she is extremely highly regarded in her industry and can dictate her working hours and has an excellent work-life balance, working mostly from home, in the Cotswolds, unless she fancies a trip to town. Often she will arrange to see a play at the National if she's in town on business - always with James, her dearest friend of many years, as Dominic dislikes the theatre intensely (he would rather go to a real ale pub and sit by a fire doing the crossword, but Phil finds this tedious).

Secretly, Phil dreams of getting a face tattoo and buying a motorbike.

Sorry - new name: Farhan.

Report
NinaDefoe · 30/11/2021 08:26

Farhan is 18 years old.

His Great-Grandparents came to England from India in the 1950s along with his Grandparents who were at the time still children themselves.

His Great-Grandfather was a doctor and was one of many Commonwealth nationals at the time recruited by the U.K. to meet the demand for medical professionals that resulted from the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS).

Farhan is proud of his Indian heritage and visits the few remaining relatives he has in India every year with his family.

Samanabanana · 30/11/2021 09:50

Elsie is a lovely Grandma who dotes on her family. Sadly her husband Gerald passed away some years ago, and she never met anyone else out of choice. She's lived in Harrogate all of her life and is partial to a Betty's and likes to take her teenage grandkids there for a coffee and cake on their birthdays. She's fiercely independent and says things like "the only way I'll be leaving this house is in a wooden box!"

Wren

Report
foodiscomplicated · 30/11/2021 10:59

Wren is having a hard time. She's 9 and attends a small rural primary school. Her parents chose the school because they felt it would be nurturing. The reality though is it's so small that there is no one else quite like Wren there. She's super bright (her parents have poured a lot of energy into early reading and giving her experiences which augment the curriculum). They've also given her an unshakable belief in her abilities. Which unfortunately doesn't chime well with the other kids at the school. As a result Wren often finds herself on the outside of things in the playground, and doesn't get as many party invitations as other children. Even the teachers find her and her family a bit annoying (no they can't do extension work because they're too busy trying to get many of their pupils off the starting blocks)
She doesnt moan about it though because her mum and dad continue to Instill in her the belief that she IS special and one day everyone will see that.

New name: Anni

Report
NinaDefoe · 30/11/2021 11:39

‘Anni’ is 45 and is an Art technician at the University. She is actually called Angela but keeps that to herself.
‘Anni’ is edgier.

Anni studied Fine Art at Huddersfield. She is a bit of a lost soul but enjoys her job and the regular income.
She has been there along time and has realised that every year the work churned out is one big cliche. Every student thinks they’re the ‘first’ to think of an idea...
Once in a blue moon someone will do something different and original.
Anni wants to live in Morocco but has yet to make it there on holiday.

Summer left Cheltenham Ladies College 3 years ago, intending to apply for university midway through a gap year spent travelling in South America. So she should have been entering her final year at Exeter university but instead has found herself putting her childhood pony club days to good use on a ranch in Argentina. She's fallen for the ranch owner's son too. Summer and Isidore make a handsome couple. You may see them soon, gracing the pages of Tatler who are featuring them next month amidst the ranch's gorgeous interiors.
