About Us

I’ve spent my career talking to people and marvelling in their curious stories . And here is my quirky view on my glorious Devon life – particularly the people who have walked this lovely part of the country with me.
My little project is to document snippets of current life, history and voices in Devon,
before they are forgotten by future generations.

As they say – “Everyone has an interesting story to tell”
