My name is Beth and I give talks on a variety of subjects - 1930's ceramics (which I collect), various aspects of Turkey history (lived in the Turkish Republic between 2018 and 2021). The talk I offer at the present time regarding Turkey, is called the Libraries of Turkey. I am also presently researching one about the Ancient Sites of Turkey. I like local history and have researched, written and published a local history book regarding a place in Lancashire (where we used to live and from where we moved from in 2024).

I live in Corfe Mullen, near Wimborne, but am able to travel around the Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood, Poole area, (although can travel to Weymouth, Dorchester, but generally out of season).
