She has kept chickens in both a smallholding and a back-garden setting over the last forty years. She has a Further Education Teaching Certificate and used to teach in the Community Education Service.</p><p style="font-style:normal; font-weight:400">Because of family considerations, she doesn't have as many birds as she used to, but she still keeps Barnevelders and Salmon Faverolles, which are dual-purpose utility birds that lay dark brown and pinkish eggs respectively. She also continue to breed bantam Millefleur Pekins and quail-coloured Barbu d’Anvers.</p>
