Deirdre has always had a love and passion for animals. During her childhood growing up in the English countryside there were always animals in the family. Her life has been full of many rich and wonderful experiences with animals from saving baby ducks to rescuing stray dogs and feral cats. Animals seem to be attracted to her and have a way of seeking her out.
She frequently offers her time to animal shelters. In recent years her love of animals has led her to discover a talent for drawing which enables her to raise money for local animal charities.
Deirdre currently lives in Stuart, Florida with her husband and 5 cats.
