I have experimented with making jewellery and working with tin, copper, bronze, silver and gold. Some of the pieces were successful and others went back into the melting pot!

Devon Local History Studies

Devon is an amazing County riddled with a rich and varied history. Over the years I have enjoyed my own studies into various topics relating to the area. My main interests have been studying old maps and puzzling out ancient trackways and sites of interest.

Crystals, Rocks & Minerals

In the 1970's I got my first amethyst crystal from the gift shop at Kents Cavern in Torquay and have not stopped collecting since! Fascinated by the geology of Devon I have over the years kept my eyes on the ground for finds as well as purchasing some nice pieces from various crystal shops.

Stories & Poetry

A few stories I have written along with short poems and verse. Sometimes I set out to write a story and other times the poems and verse come to me while out walking or in dreams.
