Karen Kalinowski

Age: 45

Occupation: Dental nurse.

Born in London. I came up from London when I was 7 and I feel that I haven't lived anywhere else. Its nice here. Hucclecote has changed quite a bit since we moved here 20 years ago, there are a lot more houses. I like the fact that we are fairly local to the town but we are also close to the countryside. I have two daughters and we keep three horses between us so it's great to go up to Cranham woods and the common. The girls are working very hard at school. The eldest, Merrin, is 15; they won't allow her into the clubs but they do enjoy Gloucester City. I do love living in Gloucester for its countryside but there are also plenty of pubs and clubs to go to as well.
