I have been a journalist for nearly 40 years and in that time, I have been fortunate to meet and learn from some incredible people. My career began in BBC local radio, where I worked as a reporter and producer. I moved into television, becoming part of the team working on the multi-award winning regional daily news programme, BBC Northwest Tonight. I also had a stint at Granada Television both in Manchester, home to the set of Coronation Street, and at the iconic Albert Dock in Liverpool.
When my three children came along, I decided to go freelance. Our family has always been steeped in equestrianism and a chance encounter led to me becoming a Showing Correspondent for Horse and Hound magazine, a role I held for 14 years.
For the past 10 years I have worked for the National Trust at Little Moreton Hall, a beautiful 16th century property in Cheshire, where I have been able to combine my love of writing with a passion for Tudor history.
