Blue Badge Tourist Guide, Writer and Speaker


I am a Blue Badge tourist guide, qualified to guide in the South Central region – Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Wiltshire and Dorset – and also in Windsor and Eton.

A member of the ITG (Institute of Tourist Guiding) and the British Guild of Tourist Guides, I’m passionate about sharing the region’s stories, offering coach and walking tours.

My writing and speaking career stretches back over 20 years. I have published articles, short stories, poetry and full-length non-fiction – A Weekend to Pack telling the true story of one family caught up in the Second World War in the Far East.
