Views: 38 | Enquiries: 0Hello! I am a qualified tour guide with a background as a teacher and children's author.
My Blue Badge tourist guide is for the Heart of England (which covers the area between Birmingham and Gloucester) and I specialise in the Cotswolds. In fact, I've written a book about its quirky sights and stories called Offbeat Cotswolds.
Publishing this book drew on my experience writing about 70 children's books, some of them stories but mainly non-fiction, for some of the UK's top publishers. I love researching information and finding fun ways to present it - something I also did in a past role as a primary school teacher.
My talks get great feedback as being entertaining and informative.
