Joanne is Mark’s sister, and obviously met Lucy through
Mark. I wasn’t sure if Jo would have a funny story/fond moment but she did, and
it’s a lovely one!
“My favourite
memory of Lucy is from our trip to Kielder in November 2011, it was so clear
how much Lucy loved the place and acted as our tour guide. Lucy helped me
conquer my fear of birds at the birds of prey centre, for which I will always
be grateful.”

Lucy’s love of Kielder is a funny thing really. As a child
she had to spend many a day helping me (or being very bored in the car) while I worked on all sorts of events from Husky Dog Rallies, Swim
marathons and folk festivals to numerous press launches, art works opening and
cycle events!

I really love the place, and have very special memories of my 12
years working there. Lucy unbeknown to me must have absorbed that love, as at
the time she really did give the impression she really didn’t like the place.
When Lucy and Mark went on the trip Jo mentioned in November 2011, it wasn’t
till they came back that she said she could not believe how much she loved Kielder. And how much she had enjoyed being the tour guide! Bless....
