Manfreda Penfold

I am a freelance journalist and mother of three utterly delicious, yet totally infuriating girls. Still trying to figure out the work/ life/ kids balance. Born in Portsmouth to an Italian daddy and English mummy, who we lost to Cancer far too early. I mourn her and miss her daily. Have lived in London, Rome and Sao Paolo. Currently feeling unsettled on England's painfully divided South coast. Partial to a glass of wine.
