Listen "Hilary Elder. Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
Part 1 of a two-part adventure as Eddie and his pilot Captain Dave fly north to meet poet and creative writing teacher, Hilary Elder.
Hilary was born and raised in Carlisle which is so near to Scotland and sounds so Welsh that she spends a lot of time explaining that she’s English.
Carlisle sometimes seems far away from anywhere but it is near the Lake District. When she was growing up her family had a back yard with no grass (and no lakes) in it she now thinks the Lake District as her personal garden and have visits it regularly even though she now live far away in Northumberland.
She teaches English but spends a lot of time in schools.
