A chance opportunity led me to present Ch. 4's Countdown, going on to front numerous DIY and gardening programmes for BBC and ITV. A spurious approach to literary agent, Darley Anderson launched my career as a writer. Still one of the most exemplary human beings I've ever met, he rekindled my love of writing (whilst teaching me a thing or two about deadlines!) meaning I'm lucky enough to do what I love. Through my website I hope to share the joys and pitfalls of gardening, writing, nature and life's happier surprises. From time to time I hope you'll join me on those adventures.
