It had never crossed Jeans mind to become a jeweller when she was younger. These are just a few of the careers she considered: circus performer, ventriloquist, ice skater, Mrs Elvis Presley, Mrs Scott Walker and Mrs Captain Scarlet. When Jean is not at the bench she can be found in a corner filling in the Saturdays Independent Sudoku puzzle. |
