I’m an award-winning freelance food & farming writer and editor with over 15 years’ experience writing for national magazines and papers.

 

I live in the beautiful Cotswolds just outside Bath, surrounded by rolling hills, the river Avon and the Kennet and Avon Canal. It’s a spot I love to explore with my black Labrador, Agnes.

I started my writing career as Deputy Livestock Editor at Farmers Weekly magazine. After several years in London, I was drawn back to the countryside, choosing to settle in Bradford on Avon on the outskirts of Bath. It was here that I launched my freelance career specialising in food, farming and rural living.

I spend my time travelling the British countryside writing about the characters and businesses at its heart. I’m a big foodie, with a love of cottage gardens, interior design and rural life.
