A mummy to 3 children and a wife to Simon. I have a background in fashion, retail, interiors, holiday rentals, and childcare and a love of homemaking, cooking, gardening, animals, exercise and all things practical to make our lives easier.
I am full of energy and love getting stuck in - whether that’s in the garden or cooking up a feast, organising a party, greeting B&B guests or watching a good movie while tackling a pile of ironing (fitted sheets are my speciality!)
Over the years, with a varied background and a wonderful mother that taught me so much, I have picked up lots of different skills. This is why I decided to start Ask Charlie – I am very aware that a lot of these practical skills that were passed down from parents have been lost over the passage of time. Without home economics lessons being taught anymore, I hope with Ask Charlie I can help!
Every day I am learning new ways to do things and hope I can share this with you.
