Lizzy's Bio


I was born Elizabeth Caroline Pain in Stone, Buckinghamshire, England in August 1967 and was educated at Stone C of E Primary School and Aylesbury High School before starting the University of Manchester in 1985 where I was reading Physics with Electronic Engineering.  

Unfortunately I developed Glandular Fever and although I restarted my course the following year ended up "dropping out" in 1987.  After some more recovery time I gained a job  as an actuarial trainee but became pregnant that summer.

In January 1988 Robin and I got married and set up home together.  Our daughter Emma Susan Richards arrived in May 1988.  Unfortunately by the end of 1990 it was clear that our marriage was not a success and in May 1991 I moved back to Manchester and we divorced in due course.  

In March of 1993 I went to my neighbours' flat warming party and met Steve Taylor.  October 1993 saw me try again at gaining a degree, this time in Computuational Linguistics at UMIST , but that came to an end in June 1995 when I finally succumbed to Steve's father offering me a job at Ravenfield Designs Limited.

Steve and I were married in November of 1995, this was followed by the arrival of William M Taylor in November 1997 and Jonathan M Taylor in March 2000.  

From February 1998 until December 2001 I was Brown Owl to the 5th Heywood (St John's ) Brownies, but had to give up due to inceasing family commitments although I still hope to be active in the Guide Association again at some future time.

Other than my family my main current hobby is quilting although I enjoy many craft activities.
