This brisk-looking woman is no longer young but holds her rangy frame with a confidence backed by her sixty-odd years. Of moderate height, she might have been willowy in her youth but now posesses a raw-boned leanness, wiry muscles stretched over limbs thin enough to make her elbows and knees lookprominent by comparison. Steel grey hair frames an angular face, creased and weathered but radiating the energy and resolve of a much younger woman. Set narrowly above a delicately aquiline nose, her sharp shell-pink eyes seem to miss nothing while holding an expression of distance, as if seeing the world through some fathomless depth of hard-earned knowledge and experience.
