"Science and sorcery." It's a quote from a beekeeper I saw on the TV, about how he sees the work he does keeping bees, a balance between science and sorcery. For me it also sums up my experience of life, my interests and my outlook. I love photography which is a perfect blend of science and sorcery, using light and technology to create magical images. But when I'm not taking photos you'll find me making the podcast Weird in the Wade. I'm also often to be found writing, reading, knitting, riding my mountain bike or drinking coffee watching the world go by. By day I fight for disability rights, equality and inclusion for all.

  1. Hi Natalie , I loved your podcast about dogs and their weird apparitions. I have a story about a dog, my boyhood companion and best friend, bring “returned” to me during a time of great personal stress. He was there to see me through those times and then went back to the other world. I’m not mad. In fact I’m a scientist by training and very boring. But if you want to hear the story, contact me by email. Keep up the great work. Ian
