About — The New Governess

Welcome to The New Governess, a blog that explores the unexpected twists and turns of life. Join me as I share stories and musings about how I became a governess, short-order cook, and scullery maid overnight, and the many other surprising experiences that have shaped my life.

As we navigate a world that is constantly in flux, this blog is a place to find comfort and inspiration in the unexpected. Whether you're facing a personal challenge, navigating a new career path, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on life, I hope my stories and insights will help you find your way.

So, come along on this journey with me. Let's discover the joy in the unexpected together.
