I cannot believe that I left Sherborne eighteen years ago and feel very lucky to still count some
fellow ex-Sherborne girls as close friends. I regularly see Lottie Colston (Woodall) E’96, Tamsin
Bush (Griffiths) E’94, Sophie Annesley (Taylor) AE’95 and Claire Allen T’96 who all live in
Bristol and keep in touch with a few others who live further away. Lucinda Hensman’s W’95
wedding in April to Richard Douglas up in Cumbria was great fun. Jessica Bagot’s (Hattam) A’95
daughter Eliza was a bridesmaid. It was lovely to hear Tamsin Collins W’95 playing the oboe as Lu
and Richard left the church, and to catch up with Melissa Ellis A’95 afterwards.
Tamsin Simpson (Pinhey) AW’91 after having a break from work and enjoying being at home with
her children for a few years, is now working full-time again as a Reception Teacher at Dorset House
School in West Sussex.
Beth Christopher (Robertson) A’93 married Mark Robertson in 2009 and has two children. She is
a solicitor practicing family law and has been with Mishcon de Reya in London since 2003. She is
still in close contact with Rosie Robinson (Brown) AW’93, Tory Perriss (Whittington) AW’93,
Alex Greenstock (Chamberlain) A’93, Miranda Harding (Heynes) A’93 and Leone Lewis (Ward)
A’93 and sees many others.
Miranda Harding (Heynes) A’93 is married to Alex and had a baby girl Lara in December 2011.
She is back eventing her horse and keeps in touch with Beth Christopher (Robertson) A’93 and
Alex Greenstock A’93.
Christie Harris (Carson) W’94 married to James Carson in August 2004. Having worked as an
EAL teacher for 11 years firstly in Poland for a year and then back in the UK, she moved to
Shanghai in August 2011 with her husband and 2 children, Florence now 5 and Jago 3. On one big
adventure and really enjoying the journey.....most of the time!
Odette Cann (Ovies) T’94 married Marc Ovies in December 2009. She lives in Chicago, has one
son, Arthur, and works in the reinsurance industry. She last travelled to England in November 2012
to celebrate Jo Rook’s (Kirkham) T'94 wedding, as well as to visit Nyree Harutunian (Craig) T'94.
Pip White (Cartmell) DH'94 and Nick became parents to twins Polly and Albert on 13 July 2012.
Emma Deverell (Bell) E'95 is living with her family on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, so not a million
miles from Sherborne. Looking after two small children and expecting a third (due mid-June), so
pretty busy with that side of life... I keep in touch with a few OGs, particularly Lucy Griffith E’95.
But I should be better with lots of others - very sorry!
Lucy Turner (Kelly) A'95 lives in Lymington but is moving to Cannes in August as her husband
works there. They had baby Eliza Alice in November, a sister for Charlie (5) and Rosie (3). She
keeps in touch with Alexandra White (Ballard) A’95, and has seen Georgia Hewetson
(Beardsell) A'95 and Katrina Yerbury W'95 recently.
