C.L. Bell

I am Scottish. Born and bred in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, I moved to the Suffolk coast with my husband and daughter in the late 1970s. I travel to Scotland as much as possible to see friends and relatives who still live in the North East.

My hobbies are writing, reading, swimming and travelling. I have lived in Italy, Milan and Ravenna and also the Middle East, Abu Dhabi. Travelling is my main hobby. I've visited most European countries and a good few others.

I have five cats who love running around the house at 3.00am. I also have a stray cat who lives in my back garden and who enjoys eating as much food as possible. A neighbours cat come to me for breakfast and dinner. Recently I have gained another pet. A raven who has been known to tap on the front door to be fed.
