I am a voracious reader who has so far had three careers – Probation Officer, Library Manager and Bookseller. With Sheryl Shurville from Chorleywood Bookshop I set up the Chorleywood Literary Festival and the Chorleywood Children’s Literary Festival as well as setting up an events programme that runs throughout the year. See  www.chilternbookshops.co.uk for the latest news on events.

I have retired now from Chorleywood Bookshop. So now I have even more time to read!  I am involved with an adult book group.

I am also an aspiring artist! Aspiring being the correct adjective. Painting is an entirely absorbing hobby so I am posting a few of my better pieces on here.
