Helen Edwards (Nee Falconer) (B/L 89-96) has sent in a career update:

“On leaving St Bees I spent a fantastic year as an au pair just outside Montpellier, France working for Anya Robson, daughter of teachers Chris and Charm.  Following that I spent three years at the University of Leeds studying Classical Literature and English before going on to study Law as a postgraduate at the College of Law, Guildford.  I then found a job as a paralegal practising Family Law in Barrow-in-Furness.  I stayed there for a year before deciding that the Law was not for me and then joined the army.  I went to Sandhurst in 2003 and commissioned into the Royal Logistic Corps as a Second Lieutenant in 2004.  So far I have served in Rheindahlen and Gutersloh (both Germany), Tidworth, Kabul and Basra and I can truly say that life has never been boring.  I married Ross Edwards, also a Captain in the Royal Logistic Corps, in April 2009 at Holy Trinity Church, Millom and we have a beautiful five months old baby girl called Beatrice Lily Edwards.  Motherhood has been life changing in the most wonderful way but I do plan to return to work.  I am posted to 23 Pioneer Regiment RLC in Bicester in June as the Regimental Signals Officer.  Clearly all those years in the CCF were not wasted!”
