About me My story

I recently qualified as a Primary School teacher and am based in a Year 4 class as well as teaching music across the whole school. I am married with two daughters and enjoy a very busy life! At university I studied Art History and have always tried to keep up with what's happening in the art world. I love Anthony Gormley and find his approachability and simplicity utterly enthralling and it never occurred to me that I would ever be chosen to be a Plinthee! Now for the job of deciding what I am going to do with my precious hour.

  • Camilla, how wonderful! I have heard about this project and it is amazing to see someone I know being such a fun participant.

    Sorry I got to this so late (I am actually on a layover in Las Vegas and was cleaning up some junk mail in my old mailboxes and checking to see if I had missed any REAL mail....et voilÄ! C'est fantastique!), but even though it is a few weeks late, I just had to say "Hello from The Swindells Family," which is now Neil (45), Cheryl (45), Chloe (13 this week!) and Jack (11).

    Nice one, Camilla!

  • i like your wings !!!!

    loved the bubbles!!! u looked great!!!

  • Well done Camilla! I don't know about 'Angel of the South'.

    We can see Wintershall ringing you up anytime soon. How are you fixed to be The Angel Gabriel !! Minus the mobile of course!! Lots of love Siobhan , Brian , Tom and Matt xx

  • Well done! You're fab!

  • Well, Well, Well.....................

    We just finished watching (9.30 Sunday night rather than 5.30 in the morning!) and didn't you have fun. In our opinion 50 seems to be just about the right age to be doing stuff like this - you have a real responsibility to be a good example to the younger element. Good to see the family too. We'll be in touch.

    Love to you all

    John & Dianne

    PS Dianne says "You go Girl.........."
