Bridget Ashton

Bridget grew up in the Welsh border town of Hay on Wye, her family migrating to Northumberland in 1955.  In 1966, she travelled alone, on foot, behind the Iron Curtain.  Back home, she and her American husband raised four children and campaigned against nuclear power stations.  Cold War, Warm Hearts is the second of her memoirs, following Hay Before the Bookshops or The Beeman's Family.
