A lot has been happening behind the scenes, some of which I would love to have your thoughts on - so I'll keep it as brief as possible in bringing you all up to speed. 1 - Sporting Equals Ambassador I recently became an ambassador for a charity that promotes access to underrepresented people to sport and outdoor activities, benefiting their health, mental health and expanding social community attachments. I am so honoured to be working alongside some amazing ambassadors who w

Watch the highlights video from the Future Countryside Event held at Raby Castle on 2nd June 2026, where I had the honour of speaking to heads of countryside organisations and members of parliament about working together to find better solutions for our countryside.

These days, when I crouch down to check a hedgerow or woodland edge with my thermal, there's a fairly good chance I'll make at least one noise getting back up again. My knees are in agony, my back creaks, and if I've slept funny the night before, even lifting my rifle out of the cabinet can feel like a mistake. Welcome to deer stalking in your forties! For many women (and men), this involves navigating changing hormones, aches and pains, skin that is suddenly hyper-sensitive

This year, I had the honour of being asked to become one of only a handful of official Game Fair Ambassadors for 2026. At first, I assumed it would mainly involve marketing meetings, media days, PR activities and creating content to help promote the show through my social media channels. While all of that was certainly part of the role, I soon realised it meant so much more than that to me, and to others. Being an ambassador is about relationships. It's about trust. The PR te

Memoir of a Black British Huntress UPDATE - 10/08/2026: Since releasing my self published memoir in June 2026, I am excited to share that after having discussions with 2 publishers, I have signed an International publishing deal with Austin Macauley Publishers! It was an easy decision to make based on the company's history, 20 years of experience and their detailed praise of the book, so I knew they were the right team to work with. Therefore my original book is no longer ava

As I write this I am getting ready to head to the Future Countryside event by Countryside Alliance, held at Raby Castle, where I will be speaking in the afternoon in front of a room of key figures within parliament about what we can do to make people fall in love with the countryside again, and engage more with it's custodians. And I'm nervous. Why? Because I have to speak on stage? No. Because I am going to be surrounded by people who don't understand me or where I am from?

What is The Stalking Show? The Stalking Show is a self-described show for hunters built by hunters, and since my first time at the show in 2023, working on the Katie Hargreaves fine art stand, I would have to agree. What struck me initially that first year was how different the people looked. I had lways felt slightly out of place at some other shows, dressed in my camo and combats. But here, I fitted right in; a hunter amongst other hunters. I loved how the owners David and

On the first day of the month, I was asked by a friend to help him with his yearly Roe Deer cull. I had spent time stalking on this land before, but always on Roe Bucks - now it was time to focus on the last of the Roe Does - which was to be my first time ever hunting female Roe Deer. 1 - Psychological preparation For those who don't know, at this time of year, although it is completely legal to hunt female roe deer, it's important to be aware that they will more than likely
