Lesley Leahy: Editor and proof reader

Lesley Leahy: Editor and proof readerAfter growing up in London and then working in social housing there, Lesley managed to fulfil her dreams to move out into the countryside - still in housing in rural Herefordshire for a district council as Housing Services Manager.

After a move to Cornwall some years ago and working as a housing consultant, Lesley found Relaxed Farming when browsing the ads page of the local paper! Being nosey she checked their website and loved the idea of what was happening at Minions. Lesley started corresponding with Jack and the offer of a job to work with Relaxed was eagerly taken up.

After so many years of writing reports, reading reports and amending reports, it's a complete pleasure to edit and proof the various documents for Relaxed Farming - something to do inbetween dog walking and feeding the local (wild) bird population! A lovely life for some!
