I am Helen Evans (maiden name Gray). I was brought up in Sanderstead, South Croydon with my parents and brother Rob. Went to college in Ealing. Lived in Eastcote before moving in with Mel in Northwood. We moved to Hitchin in 1985 and married in 1990. I worked in libraries in London 1977-1991. We have two sons, W and D. Still in Hitchin, but a different house. Winter weekends revolve around rugby - W plays for school Sat am, Mel for Hitchin 4ths Sat pm, W & D play for Hitchin juniors/minis Sun am and Sun pm we watch Wasps. When I am not freezing on a touchline or washing kit, I work at a local primary school, spend a lot of time with special needs children which I enjoy. I do genealogy in spare time and squeeze in essential housework/household chores when I can. Family all call me Nell, friends call me Helen, at school I am Mrs EvansIneedawee!
