Hi! I’m Ruth, welcome to my blog, Lemonade Life, as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons…..
I live in Devon with my daughter and run my craft businesses called Summerland and Keepsake Critters.
After a successful eight year career in charity fundraising I retrained as a scuba diving instructor, got married to a charming Frenchman and moved to Gran Canaria to run a scuba diving centre.
In 2008 we closed the doors on our business and the next day our daughter was born.
Three months later we moved to France. Sadly the stresses of life took their toll on our marriage and I returned to the UK in September 2009.
That’s the short story, if you want the long story you will have to read the archives.
