Sarah M - The Dessert Island

Today’s castaway is well and truly a North London girl - after spending most of her childhood at Connaught Avenue as the eldest of two daughters to Suzanne and Steve - 38 years later she still resides in Enfield - just a few streets down the road - albeit with a family of her own.

When not in EN1 - the March’s can commonly be found at their second, slightly more exotic home - Woolacombe Bay. Having spent almost every summer on the golden Devonshire sands, or in the clubhouse playing bingo, the traditional pilgrimage to the southwest coast shows no sign of fading.

Away from bodyboarding and being entertained by Billy The Beachball, sport has always been a constant in our guest’s life. And while she excelled at playing netball throughout her younger years, representing her borough and county - it is football that has always had her heart.

As a self-confessed Spurs mad superfan - whether it be down the pub, watching at home with her family, or in the stadium - you can always guarantee a slightly drunken rendition of Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur will be delivered loud and proud.

When not publicly declaring her passion for Spurs, she uses her voice to capture the attention of others in her day job - as an English teacher.

To quote Shakespeare - “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” - and while our castaway is only interested watching those in blue and white - she thrives in her own role improving the lives of all those around her - whether it be her own children - or the ones she attempts to inspire in the classroom.
