Born in Scotland, Jennifer started her education in Malaya. Family travels took her to various schools and locations across the world. Following a successful career in aviation, she describes as 'not without incident, and thankfully with the same number of landings as take-offs', life became more sedentary. Lucky enough to have found somebody happy to do the cooking for all the family and as luck would have it, even capable in other areas of domestic activity. A later less-nomadic life style allowed two daughters to benefit from a settled education, unfortunately they lost out on adventure.
