Was given British Citizenship upon marrying my Liverpool born husband in 1972. Immigrated to UK in 2014. Subsequent to arriving in UK it seemed prudent to ensure that I had acceptable British qualifications to offer, if needed, so undertook and received a level 3 hairdressing NVQ qualification from Croydon College. Although South African born my heritage was and is predominantly British in family culture. My family love Britain and all my immediate family live in UK.
