You can read more about Di Hammill Page on the 'About Us' page but here is a brief summary...

Di Hammill Page had an unusual upbringing. She was raised by her Grandfather a gunner in the army and her  Father a hippy whose dream was to live in a kibbutz!  ... in an unconventional upbringing for a little girl in the seventies.  A childhood that necessitated teaching herself self-reliance skills led to a university post-graduate education in Criminal Psychology and teaching at college.  Three children later, Di had given up academia to raise her children alone and off-grid in a remote North Yorks Dale and a return to work in teaching again but this time in the natural lifestyle skills that was her way of living.  They had no heating, loo, or running hot water, living in a green painted caravan in a five acre field. She lived very simply just using what was around them.
