Who the hell is Anne DeBondt?
My name is Anne deBondt. I am an American living in the Ely area and enjoy writing about the comings and goings of local folk.
I have three children, two grandchildren, perform miracles with an interior design business and still find time to put pen to paper when something grabs my attention.
I am never politically correct and find nothing wrong with being unpleasant or impertinent. I pull few punches and my views are always straight forward.
So, if you have a few minutes to waste each week, read my article and find out who's in the hot seat!
A bunch of fives! — 5 inconsequential facts about Anne!
- Is... Still so very American after living here for over 25 years
- Has... Absolutely no need whatsoever for political correctness
- Doesn't... Drive a car
- Can... Swear more colourfully than a sailor!
- Won't... Brake for animals (oh stop! I don't drive, remember)
