Hi there,
and welcome! My name is Nina and I've got a 7 1/2 year old son called Raoul.

Before embarking on my self employment as a textile artist I was halfway through my part time MLitt in Ancient History - I thought it would be possible to have a baby and go on studying and work part time (I was self funding)....

I've got friends who used to live in Japan and one of their children was born there.
