Alex was born and raised in Banbury, England, a small market town famous for the nursery rhyme “Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross” and Banbury Cakes, (a spiced, currant filled, yummy flat cake similar to an Eccles cake).
After completing her A-Levels she worked for a year as a volunteer at an outdoor education centre in rural Wales where her love for all things “outdoors” and wildlife were established.
She attended the University of Wales Swansea where she gained her BSc (Hons) in Geography and met her soul mate and true love. After moving back to Banbury, buying a house and having a child Alex and family decided they wanted more from life! More space, more fresh air, more wilderness and more freedom so they began a quest in search of that special place. They undertook a massive extension to their modest UK property and completely renovated it to enable them to make their life changing move to the beautiful province of Nova Scotia.
Alex is now in the process of re-inventing herself. New country, new home, new friends, new vocation, new woman. She is keen to finally pursue her passion for all things written and hopes that the novascotia.com readers will enjoy her offerings.
