Mountain Life
In 2005 I married a Viking and we retreated to the mountains of the Cévennes in south central France. We bought and renovated a stunning property and enjoyed the company of dogs, friends and strangers who found their way up to the end of our long, steep, twisting road. Time, landscape and architecture helped me re-discover the joys of drawing and I started to set out the story of Pollyhester. Find out more about my writing and illustrating here.
