This is a place for some of the things that I love.

I’m reporting for Kennet Radio.

I’m interested in people and places, culture and community. I love to nurture gardens, plants and being in the countryside. Also music, photography, languages, tennis and France.

My time is shared between West Somerset and Newbury owing to family commitments at both ends.

With my husband, Bryan, we’re renovating Oatway, a derelict Somerset long-house.

I’ve also got an antiques stall at the Hungerford Antiques Arcade – that’s a really fun and buzzing environment.

Best of all is seeing family and friends, and I’m a proud mum to my smashing boys! They’ve talked me into doing this blog, so here goes!
