On hearing that an 82 year old mature student answered 'it's never too late' when asked why she was enrolling on a language course at her age, I was struck and impressed by her reasoning especially as I had just turned 40.

From that turning point I have adopted 'it's never too late' as my ethos and decided to make a late career change to follow my long held passion - to write and produce television and radio programmes.

I feel I have earned enough Brownie Badges in life and, with my sons in full time school, I am now exploring my options.
