Teacher embarks on writing career
Mrs Roberts, a former teacher at St Nicholas Primary School in Kenilworth and deputy headteacher at Whitnash Primary School, left behind planning and paperwork to live on a boat at Crick Marina and write children’s stories.
Now she is hoping former pupils will help launch her first book The Misadventures of Chico Chugg at Whitnash Christmas lights switch-on on Sunday.
