E A Underwood

Liz Underwood was born in London but has since kept moving west. She grew up as a teenager on Exmoor wandering on the hills with pony and dog, went back east briefly to study for a History Degree at the University of Reading but couldn’t resist the pull of the West Country and returned there to marry a saddle maker. They now share fourteen acres and a quirky old farmhouse on the Blackdown Hills with their two dogs. While some of their little patch is dedicated to food production much of it is a managed wilderness that is home to several setts full of badgers, earths of foxes, deer, owls, bats, kingfishers and otters, the occasional cormorant and a pair of cranky ravens amongst a plethora of other creatures.

When not growing, picking and processing their produce, Liz can often be found rambling about with a camera or sitting in a glade full of bluebells with a notebook and pen, that is if it’s not raining too hard.
