ABOUT US

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’.
