It operates as a centre for ‘alternative’ weddings, for holidays – especially glamping holidays, for a variety of workshops and courses and as a ‘pop-up restaurant’. ‘Thriving’ of course doesn’t really apply right now – as we’ve been ‘locked down’ for most of the last year!I studied English with American Studies at Sussex University, qualified both as a teacher of Speech and Drama and of EFL and taught privately, and at secondary and further education levels. After leaving teaching, I worked in business, but my twin passions have always been the written and the spoken word. Page and stage!Over the last sixteen years, I’ve rediscovered my love of writing - chairing a local writers’ group, being a member of two others, co-hosting a monthly spoken word night, Word Up, in Cardigan, reading my work aloud at venues and festivals in England, Wales and Ireland, taking part in poetry slams and dramatic performances, winning & being placed in a number of poetry competitions and representing Wales in a Radio 4 spoken word competition in 2010.I’ve been recorded on Poetcasting and my poems have been read on BBC’s ‘Poetry Please’, ITV (in 2018 & 2020), 101.8WCRFM and Radio Wales. I’m a member of Second Light network & have poems on the ‘poetrypf’ website. Fifty of my poems were translated into Romanian in 2020 as part of a Bucharest University M.A. dissertation. I’ve been commissioned to write poems by ITV and by a local theatre group. I wrote a blog during lockdown, which formed the basis of ‘A Year of Going Nowhere’. I’m currently editing my first children’s book, about a clan of mice called the Stowaways.vizualizați mai puține
