I grew up in the country, surrounded by – indeed, immersed in – books and music. Music became my career, while books and the environment were relegated to background status until I began to find more time for words, images and wildlife after 2004.
My writing was initially ancillary to my performing and music teaching: I contributed to the national journal for Early Music from 1984 onwards, going on to write for many other journals and eventually becoming a book reviewer and environment writer. For more about me, here is a longer CV.
