I
have lived in Derbyshire all my life.. My childhood was spent in Matlock, followed by
teenage years in Bakewell and Birchover, and a spell at Rowsley. I
currently live in Over Haddon with the wonders of Lathkill Dale on my
doorstep.
I live with husband Brian and have two children and five grandchildren -
Jessica, Isobel, Agatha, Abigail & Grace.
I have been writing for the Peak Advertiser for 15 years and have amassed
more than 400 walks as well as various other articles.
I
have walked ‘Downstream with the Dove’, ‘Meandered with the
Manifold’, ‘Wandered with the Wye’ as well as ‘Walked with
Alfie’ and taken almost three years to compile the ‘Around and
About’ series, where I visited virtually every town and village in the
Peak Advertiser’s catchment area.
I have been ‘Around the Edge’, on ‘Circular Walks for the
Family’ not to mention ‘Hilltop Hikes’ and ‘Nature Rambles’. I
have ‘Rambled Around’ and ‘Walked with Alfie’ and even did a few
features on ‘Walking up an Appetite’.
Alfie
and I have been on a series of Adventures involving visits to the police
headquarters and Sudbury prison in our articles on working dogs and dogs
involved in charities.
