As Jane enters Stage 4 of her life, she is in transition. She lives in Queensland, Australia
From the end of 1989 until the end of 2009, Jane raised her family on acreage outside Warwick. She and her husband Robert raised three kids – Sam, Louisa and Jock. They also raised horses, and sheep, and cats, and dogs, and lovebirds, and guinea fowl, and peacocks, and chooks, and mice, and guinea pigs, and quite a beautiful garden. All with a lovely view, and 5 minutes from town. Although all that raising of kids and all that driving in and out of town for cubs, and brownies, and ballet, and swimming, and violin lessons, and youth orchestra, and soccer – and that was all as well as boring old stuff like work and school – became rather wearing at times. Just ask the succession of family cars….
Jane has had lots of practice at living. She has worked in heaps of different jobs in heaps of different places on both sides of the planet and has a CV as long as your arm.
