Storytelling has always been my passion. I still remember when my family would read me adventure tales at bedtime, transporting me to magical worlds that ignited my imagination. Those cherished moments opened my eyes to the power of stories to inspire us and bring people together. Of course, I'd always try to bargain for just one more story before lights out!

As a child, I always looked forward to the times my parents would go out and leave my eldest sister to babysit me and my younger siblings. We'd turn over the claw-footed antique coffee table and position me, my brother, and two sisters at each one of the legs. Hanging on for dear life, we would fly off to faraway lands for adventures vividly told from our active imaginations.

The folks never knew what caused all those scratches on the precious coffee table! (Sorry, Ma!) But we sure had some wild fantasies over the years that became a bit too enthusiastic!

My husband, Ken Sheridan and I have been featured on Sky News, Radio 2, and numerous BBC radio stations. Together and separately, we were featured in The Independent on Sunday, Financial Times, The Guardian, Red Magazine, Berkshire Life, Country Life, Start Your Own Business, People Today, People Management, OnRec, Management Today, Country Living, Pay Monthly, and Financial Mail, along with numerous regional and local publications across the country.

We appeared on the morning TV breakfast shows a couple of times to discuss various topics.

We're often asked to comment on BBC Radio, and Paula is invited to speak at various events and seminars across the UK.

And we were also featured on the BBC Show, Escape to the Continent, which showed our quest to live in Spain, where we now run our businesses. In between, I find time to write!
