As a child, I always dreamed that I would marry a practical, outdoor man and that I would be surrounded by animals, children and land.

Fast forward to present day; I am married to an Oak Framer, we live in the middle of the woods with our two daughters, our dog and four hens. Up until a few years ago, I was a self employed graphic designer, however now I devote myself to my family, our home and this little space on the web and social media platforms.

I love nothing more than going for long walks in our woods and surrounding fields with our dog and daughters, cooking, taking photos, watching my husband build beautiful oak framed buildings and growing our own food in our vegetable garden.

Late 2015, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, which has allowed me to reconnect with the practice of mindfulness and general wellbeing. Living with Ankylosing Spondylitis, is a new journey I am on and whilst it will never define me, I occasionally like to use this space to share with those who know little about the condition, raising awareness of chronic invisible illness, as well as creating a space for discussion and support for others living with AS.
