Following that, she opened three practices of her own in the North of England, before then moving south a few years ago to be nearer family. She is currently enjoying working part time at Leightons.

Outside work, Anthea enjoys travel and walking, and also coordinates the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme in Romsey.
I took my son into the branch to collect his first pair of glasses. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They took their time and didn't rush us despite running past closing time.
