She is the author of a number of books, including Choosing and Keeping Ducks and Geese, Keeping Pet Ducks, Self Sufficiency, A Practical Guide to Modern Living and Keeping Chickens. She also appears on the radio regularly. She lives on a smallholding in Cambridgeshire and is a keen member of her local smallholding club.
