Welcome, and thank you for visiting.
I have always believed that public service is about people, place and purpose. As Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, a former Member of Parliament and Minister, and above all a proud mother, my work has always been guided by a deep love of our country and the communities that make it so special.

This website brings together the different parts of that journey. Here you will find my work in politics and public life, reflections from my writing, music inspired by stories of resilience, and the personal passions that keep me grounded — from family life and the Lincolnshire countryside to the much-loved Schnauzer Squad.

My hope is that this space offers a window into the values I hold dear: service, perseverance, creativity and the belief that through determination and faith we can build a better future for the next generation.
