Helen Symonds, originally a Lancashire Lass, is now married to a Geordie living in the North East. She studied Theology at Durham and later trained to teach Religious Studies where she led a successful department in a County Durham School. In addition to her recently acquired step son and step daughter, she also has two daughters, now in their 20s and a granddaughter born in September 2006, for whom she gave up teaching full time in order to 'get her life back'. Now part-time teaching and part-time PA to Stephen, she is also contributing to her local circuit as a Methodist Local Preacher and enjoying life to the full with family and friends.
