I was born in 1954 in London, and have been migrating westwards through the UK ever since (we moved to Surrey in 1961, to Oxfordshire in 1972 (including three years at Oxford University reading History), and in 1977 to the Basingstoke area where we lived for 25 years before moving to Cornwall). I’ve been married to Martin Fisher, who is a trading standards officer, since 1977, and I have two daughters, Christina (born 1982 and now working in London) and Izzy (born 2001, a student at Launceston College). Our household includes two dogs, one cat, a horse and seven guinea pigs (with more on the way).
