Our Team

Hello! I am Dita, I also go by my nickname, Dee. I am from The Philippines but have been living in the UK for over 25 years. I split my time between Essex (where I live with my partner, boss Mike), Yorkshire and France. I have also lived in the Middle East, where I practised Optometry. My career in the Optical field spans around 35 years. Skier/Snowboarder - Skier Favourite Band/Artist - Tears for Fears/Ed Sheeran Favourite Food - Seafood. Also, Filipino dishes such as Pork Adobo, Sisig, Sinigang and Pinakbet (have you tried them?) Favourite country visited - Italy but generally, I love to travel and to learn and experience different cultures. I speak English, Tagalog and Ilocano (a dialect in the Philippines), and I would like to learn another language! I enjoy walks/hikes and I love Fashion! I also like to chill and watch my favourite tv shows, like Strictly Come Dancing, friends with a nice cup of coffee!!
