A former travel editor of Bazaar and Net-a-Porter's Porter magazine, travel writer Catherine Fairweather is spiritually at home in Greece, her mother country, where she lives for some of the year in a stone cottage in the midst of an olive grove and harvests virgin oil. When she isn't on the road (preferably off-track in a 4x4) or blinking in the bright lights of London, she hunkers down in Somerset in an ancient farmhouse with no mobile reception or light pollution that she shares with her photographer husband, Don Mccullin, an 18-year-old son, and a handful of indestructible guinea fowl.
