More about us:

Susy (nee Gaisford)
I grew up on a dairy farm in Wiltshire with my older brother, some ponies and a pack of dogs! I studied Food Science at the School of Agriculture, University of Nottingham and then did a PhD at the University College of Wales Aberystwyth, where I met Paul. After my student career I worked for a seaweed processing company with sites in Scotland and San Diego, a food research organisation, then one of the worlds largest contract caterers and the accountants Deloitte and Touche - by which time I had become a technical analyst in the IT department and not a food scientist at all. My main interests in life are our daughter Lucy, the dogs, the garden and yoga. I also like to read books, take long walks by the sea, try to figure out Dorset geology and going to the theatre.

Paul
I was born in South Africa and brought up in Nottinghamshire, the home of Robin Hood. I grew up with my older brother and 2 sisters and from an early age became interested in natural history, the outdoor life and sailing. I studied Agricultural Botany at the University College of Wales Aberystwyth and completed my PhD in Plant Pathology in 1986. While at University I met and fell in love with Susy and we were married in 1991. After leaving Aberystwyth I worked for Dalgety, one of the largest UK agricultural companies, followed by one of the smallest. In 1992 I joined the American agricultural company Pioneer Hi-Bred, the largest plant breeding business in the world, as the UK Wheat Breeding manager. My interests are many and varied and include, gardening, photography, history, natural history, golf, sailing and cycling when I have the time.

We have a daughter called Lucy. She is four years old and has justed started school. She likes all the things that four year old girls like and is particularly keen on tigers and anything pink. We also have two Welsh border collies called Molly and Meg. If you don’t like dogs do not worry as they are not usually allowed in the house but they are always available for extra walks/petting etc if you are so inclined!
