Outside work…

I live in the middle of the Wyre Forest just outside Bewdley in Worcestershire with husband Rob and an assorted menagerie of goats, chickens and cats.

I am a keen ecologist, gardener, knitter, textile artist and photographer and recently completed the Heartwood Foundation course in herbal medicine.
