Introduction:
I am a qualified nurse and run a part-time bed and breakfast business. Born and brought up on a mixed farm, rural affairs and the countryside (plus gardens, history & literature) have always been of abiding interest.
Personal Interests:
| Literature including Jane Austen |
| Gardens |
| Countryside |
| History |
Special Interests:
| Agriculture | Most of my family is involved in agriculture and I maintain a keen interest. |
| Countryside | I was brought up in the depths of the countryside and have always been interested in the formation, traditions and way of life. |
| Gardens | Kent & Sussex were noted the top 2 counties for great gardens & gardeners. Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place |
| Sports & Pastimes | Racing - flat and national hunt. All sports except football. |
| Churches & Cathedrals | So much of English life. History is here. My religion is important to me. |
| Folklore & Traditions | Mummers plays, point-to-points, sheepdog trials, apple feasts, wassails, sweeps' festivals; even the Bognor birdman! What a variety. |
| Food & Drink | Tasty locally grown food is of interest to us all - we can follow its development from field to plate - or glass. |
| History & Prehistory | England's own invasion beaches - Roman & Norman. Many historic figures have made their mark on the South East |
| Literature | Rudyard Kipling, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Bloomsbury set, Fanny Burney, E F Benson, Conan Doyle, Hilaire Belloc - what a feast. |
| Stately Homes & Country Houses | Wonderful buildings with treasures galore, following the development of civilised living. Houses that have matured over the centuries. |
