I was a co-founding Director of my own company, which my partner and I ran successfully for nearly 26 years, LDS Tourism Services Ltd was a highly-respected leaflet distribution company in North West Britain with offices in Chester, Wrexham and Llandudno. We installed and restocked a variety of leaflet displays in North Wales, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Shropshire. In case you were wondering, LDS stood for Literature Distribution Specialists!

When About.com axed its Cultures' network in September 2001, I became English Culture, Poetry and Freelance Writing Correspondent for All Info-About - an online community created by ex About.com Guides - until its sad demise in early 2008.

I had great fun as the English Culture Guide for About.com (originally the Mining Company), quickly building up a lively and loyal band of readers from all corners of the globe. I remained in this position until the company axed its entire Cultures' Network in 2001.

I was a ranger (based at the Visitor Centre) in the Great Orme Country Park & Nature Reserve, leading guided walks, conducting weekly butterfly transects and carrying out a variety of practical and scientific tasks.

My work for Colwyn Environmental Improvement Scheme varied from general pen pushing to tree planting. I also organised teams to clear rivers, build dry stone walls and plant flowers.

Diploma, Animal Science

I spent my summer placement at the Environmental Centre on the Isle of Skye, monitoring seal colonies and helping care for sick.
