WELCOME
Hi and Welcome.
10.9.25 Been a bit busy!
I have retired but looks like August & September were Art & Craft months! I have a studio with 30 years of art and craft supplies along with many creations which I need to move on. But I dont plan any more public selling or teaching art and craft events after this year, so will be enjoying these:
First I returned to Art of Norwich for one last Exhibition from Monday 28th July to Saturday 9th August. It was good to see arty friends that I havent seen for some time. Thanks to Ruski for putting the exhibition on.
Then I will be at the Little Textile Fayre at Taverham Village Hall with some textile supplies and creations for sale on 13th September, as well as running a few crochet workshops on the day. Thanks to Sue for making this possible, as this is my last planned craft fair.
Later this autumn I have a virtual and in person Art & Craft sale event, dates to be confirmed. More info will be on the Diary page.
Of course nothing will stop me writing and painting and I intend to combine both but with less pressure now I have retired! So watch this space!
As for writing this year.... I as placed 3rd in a short story competition with the Feather Boa, I was adjudicator for the non fiction Ink Book Prize. And along with author Simon Bell judged the Olga Sinclair short story competition. Winners for both will be announced this month - September 2025
Finally - so far this exciting year! - I am the new Programme Secretary for Norwich Writers Circle

Winter 2024 Exciting News!
LATEST NEWS - SECRET GARDEN - THE JOURNEY TO FIND A BETTER YOU.
My SECRET GARDEN Meditation and Personal Development book was short listed in August 2024 for the Non-Fiction INKBOOK Prize
Secret Garden is based on a technique which I first started to develop 30 years ago. Since that time I have taught it to thousands of people in the UK and beyond. The book was published in June 2023 and short listed for the INK BOOK Prize in August 2024.
I retired in June 2024 to spend more time writing, creating and designing my book covers without having my Art business to consider, so I am thrilled to have this book short listed.

IT'S ALL ABOUT MY ANCESTORS
In September 2022 I published my autobiography It's All About Me! & William the Conqueror's Grandfather which tells my story and my subsequent research into my ancestors' The House of Gray.
I am researching for further books about my family, looking at the culture, fashions and lives of my direct Ancestors.
