Walking West Dorset
From January 2018- June 2020, monthly walks were published in The Bridport Times. The walks delved into the network of ancient lanes, pathways and tracks in this secretive corner of West Dorset, accompanied by hand drawn maps, notes and photos. You can see online copies of the publication here
The walks were republished in The Sherborne Times from 2020 and in autumn 2022, further new walks were featured, completing the set of 40 which had been originally planned.
Somerset Art Works Blog
From January 2020 to October 2023 I wrote a monthly blog post for Somerset Art Works, covering different aspects of the organisation’s work and the many creative endeavours across the county. You can read the posts on the Somerset Art Works website here.

Seven Fables Dulverton– Ex Libris
I was asked to contribute to Ex Libris, by Seven Fables Dulverton and share the following with them:
‘What publication would you like to tuck into your pocket to be engulfed by the golden flames of your funeral pyre…’
We spent a few hours discussing influences and inspiration in the depths of Horner Wood on Exmoor as well as revealing my choice. You can discover the answer on their beautiful website …and if you are on Exmoor do call in and see them!
