Hello I'm Vivienne McNeny, English to the core and I've just put the kettle on so while its boiling let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised in a convent boarding school while my parents diplomatically hosted cocktail parties at foreign Embassies.
After performing in operettas as leading men and prima ballerinas I read child psychology at London Uni; flipped my speedboat while racing in the channel; taught windsurfing and water ski-ing in Southern Andalucia; an American fell in love with me in London and I took up homeschooling in Texas before our children were too old to object.
