Cardiff, The Capital of Wales

I regret that at the end of 2024 I will cease "driver guiding" around Wales but I will stay on as a guide for local tours or groups that have their own transport. So please book for this year!! I have had a wonderfully diverse career, from fruit farming, to healthcare and education. All of the elements have enhanced my guiding knowledge. I originally trained as a nurse in London, then gained a BA Hons in History at Exeter University before raising a family and running a fruit farm for 20 years. Then I became a Chair of NHS Health Boards in South Wales. I was appointed to the Council of Cardiff University because of my NHS interests and the largest employer in Wales. My love of the history and geography of Wales has increased with age and I am so thrilled now to have time to share this passion with visitors. I am learning the whole time - I will never know everything but happy to share all the delightful stories and facts that I do have with you my guests. Please let me know in advance if you have particular interests as I love researching new areas and histories. My own relaxations are cycling (not steep hills) Scottish country dancing, gardening, opera, plays, and terribly sentimental TV series ! My children are currently scattered over the world so I travel a lot to see them. Here are a couple of comments from my guests in the last two years "It was just a delight to meet you . You're an amazing combination of historian, political analyst, and a really charming person. . . to say nothing of the fact that you have unparalleled driving skills. Our day traveling around South Wales was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you so much for making it such a meaningful" "Many thanks to you for making our Wales tour such an adventure. We know that planning the details of a trip involves a lot of work, but you made it look easy. Your dual role of driver and guide is also not an easy task but you again made it look easy, when we know it's not. We were very lucky to have you as a guide, since you seemed to anticipate our interests and seemed to know every hidden spot in Wales. " Blue Badge for Wales 2015.
