I grew up in London, but I’ve always loved wild places. I live in Cornwall now, on the edge of the moor. From my door, I can walk up onto the hills, down into the woods or across a patchwork of fields to the neighbouring villages.

I came to Cornwall from Shetland, where I lived throughout my twenties.

On my travels, I almost always head North, to places like Iceland, the Faroes and the Lofoten islands, and in recent years I’ve taken to overwintering, like a bird of passage, in the Northern Isles.

But the best adventures are in dreams, where anything can happen and the normal rules don’t apply, and I’ve been a creative dreamer all my adult life.

Out of the dreaming came the writing, and out of the writing, the workshops.
