What can I say about Beverley? She has a voice that reminds you of dark chocolate; her train of thought often leaves me standing at the station and she is my best friend! - although her 11 year old daughter, Alice, might dispute that, as she thinks that she is. The excellent thing about knowing an 11 year old is that they can take adults to fun places like Blackpool Pleasure Beach, or the big wheel in Piccadilly Gardens.

Beverley doesn't think she is particularly photogenic, so I've mixed some photographs here with some faked ones.
