I've always loved to write. Aged 10 I won a poetry competition and heard my name read out on radio; at school I won *best-written school project*.

I've written features about my life experiences:

  • life in war-torn Aden as a six year old in the late '60's
  • two weeks aboard the last passenger liner through the Suez Canal
  • a sponsored climb up Ben Nevis
  • my emotionally painful path to motherhood

My interests have sparked ideas for articles:

  • I've written about food waste and plastic bag wastage from my  awareness of green and environmental issues
  • I've been able to inform readers about organic food and what's really on children's restaurant menus from my interest in healthy eating

 

My careers have provided writing inspiration:

  • during my aromatherapy career I wrote about workshops I'd held for young girls with learning difficulties and
  • an appearance on Living TV presenting aromatherapy tips gave me the idea for a feature
  • in a personal story I was able to share my experience of working for two Lord Mayors
