Lucy Mayflower was sadly not born at the bottom of the garden - she grew up in Northern Ireland, England, Gibraltar and America, though not all at the same time. She has been a history student, a tea lady, a press officer, a porcelain dealer, a TEFL teacher, an editor, a singer and the owner of a bright yellow VW van. In her family, she has trouble deciding who is more handsome: her husband or her two sons. She has a cat called Crumble and a pet spider the size of a marble who lives outside her study window. She believes there is magic in the smallest things, provided you look hard enough.
