Chantelle Burrows

Chantelle moved over to the UK from Cape Town, South Africa with her husband and daughter. She previously worked in Property Management and has many years of Admin and Management experience. When not at work, Chantelle and her family love to go camping and for walks. On less sunny days, you’ll find her curled up on the couch with a good book or a movie or baking something in the kitchen, always a cup of tea in hand.

When I was younger, I wanted to be…

A baker. I love to bake and even better when I am baking something with chocolate.

Worst fashion mistake was…

My bob haircut when I was 10 and the awful 90’s clothes that went with it. What was I thinking?

My guilty pleasures…

80’s music and boy bands from the 90’s. It always puts me in a good mood and gets me ready to dance.

One of my funniest memories is…

We were away camping in Tsitsikamma Nature Reserve in South Africa. I was sitting alongside the ocean by my caravan enjoying my morning tea and a rusk (a South African sort of morning biscuit). I had left the box of rusks sitting open on the table and a baboon came down off the side of the mountain, snuck in behind me and stole my box of rusks. He ran back up the mountain and sat and ate the whole box while looking at me. So I told him very loudly that they don’t taste very nice without tea.

The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is…

That if someone hasn’t earned the right to give an opinion about you then don’t let their opinion bother you.

On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…

Wrapped up in my dressing gown eating French toast and bacon with my family.
