Eva Moffat

name I am a 66 year old disabled lady. I'm interested in all aspects of health, specialising in Weight Loss. Before retiring I was a Book-Keeper / Accountant I had my own Practice for over 25 years, 7 years in the UK and 18 years in South Africa. In the early '70's I was a nurse. Now I am a freelance Community Correspondent for our local weekly free newspaper. That's my official title, but I'm really just a nosey parker. Being disabled, my mobility is not too good, but I'm alive and able to enjoy life. So I have a lot to be grateful for.
