About Us

Liane:

Hi..I'm Liane - I was born in Gainesville, Florida and was raised in the waves off New Smyrna Beach, Florida.   When I was 14 I had promise of being another Julie Andrews, sang my way through junior and senior high, and attended Florida State University, where I spent my time training as a vocal education major.   I also played the tympani in the concert band and tenor drums in the marching band, thus being able to see all the football games from a good vantage point.   After graduation I decided to seek out exciting places in the world, so I spent three years in Taiwan where I learned I did not enjoy teaching (and quickly learned shorthand and typing), and two and ½ years in Greenland.  During my tour in Greenland I became one of the world's coldest radio DJ's, but I was also fortunate to be able to travel throughout Europe.
I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1974.  I began participating with a WWII living history group in 1994, where I met Martyn.  I moved to Denver in 1995, and Martyn and I were married in November, 1996.  I continued in the field of executive assistant/paralegal for over 35 years.  I retired from the legal field in 2015 and spend my time growing vegetables, quilting, playing with my dogs, RVing, bowling and playing golf.

I was born and raised in Bristol, England.  Attended Bristol Grammar School (founded in 1532 by a Charter from King Henry VIII).  From there went to Bristol Tech College for five years, qualifying in Building Construction and Management.  In 1988 decided to move to live in the USA.  On arrival in the USA, toured the whole of the western half, traveling from Seattle to San Diego, then north-east to eventually lose steam in Denver, Colorado.   I fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and all things about Colorado and lived there for just over 30 years, living in the City of Aurora which is part of the Greater Denver Metro Area.  In November 1998 we moved east of Denver to Bennett, Colorado, where we had 5 acres and had our horses with us.  Having become disillusioned with Construction I decided to use my computer knowledge and switched careers in 1989, joining the Oil & Gas Industry.    At Thanksgiving in 1996 I married the lovely Liane in a ceremony at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO (you may know this as the setting for Stephen King's "The Shining".  We have returned to my homeland on numerous occasions and have included lots of pictures in this site.

I worked for the  same company (DCP Midstream) for 28 years and retired in March 2018.  We moved to Panama City Beach in Florida in April 2018.
