 Lesley was one of the first female recruits to train alongside male officers and even stood her ground when things got tuff. Her courageous handling of protesters at the Suffolk Riots gained her the recognition of Scotland Yard and landed her in a training video. After thirty years of service, she returned home to Letchworth to care for her father, who had dementia and Parkinson's disease.

 

 After settling back into her former home, she searched for her childhood friends and found her first love, whom she married two years later. Lesley enjoys her life as retiree and spends her free time with gardening, travelling, and writing. 

Her first book "Angus The Little White Fluffy Cloud who fell in love with the sun" is availabel on Amazon.co.uk. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1913306143?pf_rd_r

On September 7. 2004, Hurricane Ivan, a category 4 storm, wreaked havoc for more than six hours on the Island of Grenada. It damaged or destroyed 90 per cent of houses, leaving more than 50% of the one hundred thousand islanders homeless and claimed 39 lives. 

 The island’s agricultural sector was almost 80%    destroyed. The islands hotels, yacht harbours and infrastructure lay in ruins. 

Ivan was the second of the two hurricanes to spawn more than 100 tornadoes in the 2004 hurricane season. The 120 tornadoes produced by Ivan are the most of any hurricane or tropical storm on record and left $1 billion in damages in its path, most of it on the Island of Grenada.
