About Me

I'm Krista and I'm mum to three gorgeous girls born in 1998, 2008 and 2010.

I am a bit of an intermittent blogger.  I have spells where I produce a lot of posts (mostly because I am happy or ranty about something) and then I often go through total wastelands where there are more tumble-weeds than posts.  Some of this is to do with not wanting to write too short a post.  However, I think a few lines is sometimes better now than War and Peace every time I type!

My family and I are RHS and National Trust members and enjoy getting out for walks together and exploring new places.  We are also occasional geocachers (mostly where there are no dogs!).

You can trust me - I'm a doctor!  A philosophical one, not a GP.  I obtained my PhD in 2016 (thesis entitled 'Crowdsourcing for Heritage: The Changing Role of the UK Heritage Sector).  I am also a PhD tutor (occasionally), a visiting workshop/seminar tutor, an online course tutor and an administration officer at my university (part-time for all of them), as well as an independent recruiter (when my clients need me) and a full-time mum outside of school hours.  I also help at my girls' school with both testing children on maths, along with being on the e-safety team and running the school Facebook and Twitter pages.

I have a PlayStation 4 too and have rocked my way through Final Fantasy XV.  Clearly I needed something like that to fill in my spare time... *grin*
