I’m a knitting addict and a book addict. I’ve been a knitter for about 35 years and a reader for, well, as long as I can remember.

When I’m not knitting, I’ll be sewing myself a new dress, reading a book or pottering about in my garden, where I grow lots of vegetables as well as flowers – hence the photos of flowers on my website.

My other passion is walking. I love a good country walk, often with a pub lunch at the end. I have walked some of Scotland’s long-distance paths and done my version of the Three Peaks Challenge – over three years, not in the same 24 hours!
