Jo Sidwells at home in North Cornwall - J. Sidwells
After many years experience writing for in-house magazines and newsletters within large corporate companies, I now enjoy being at home leading the quiet rural life. I enjoy writing about peoples' experiences; about cornwall and the lifestyle it provides and the latest products and services. I have lived in North Cornwall for over ten years with my husband and my son, who is at secondary school. We love growing our own veg - especially experimenting! Sweetcorn, pak choi and aubergine are this years additions. We like nothing better than scouring the countryside with our dog, Xafi (a tiny Labrador Retriever), and looking for good fishing spots by the sea, kayaking in it(!) and appreciating the fantastic views here on Bodmin Moor.
