Gnomes of Blaeberry Glen  &  Wee Highland Snippets

"My mother told me that I was born with a pointed head which apparently even the nurses remarked upon. There was a fey quality about my mother, with her long golden hair, enigmatic smile and faraway eyes.

I grew up believing in fairies, elves and mermaids."

Born in 1959 Suzanne grew up in the magical landscape of southwest Wales, retaining her childhood beliefs. With a passion both for nature and art she went on to gain a BSc in Botany intending to work for nature conservation. However, although she has worked in a variety of jobs including nature conservation, her creative side gradually took precedence...

She now lives in the enchanted rural Highlands of Scotland behind a thorny hedge of wild rose and brambles, with her son, three cats and at least seven gnomes.


Suzanne has been a member of Enchanted Folk since September 2007
