The travels of Mary Loosemore

Jamrach’s Menagerie – Carol Birch

If you liked Life of Pi, I think you’d like this; the story of a young London lad whose close encounter with a tiger leads to a job in Jamrach’s Menagerie, and thence to a voyage of adventure on the high seas.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
