About Lesley

I'm living the exciting life in Cambridgeshire!

I wrote for the Withernsea & District Community News before its closure. This excellent newspaper reached out to all the fantastic homes along the East Yorkshire coast and inland.

My experience includes animal rescue, fostering, and adopting elderly and adorable sick furballs. My cat Tabitha, my ex-partner's dog Teddy (a courageous Romanian rescue), and cheeky budgies Ron & Reggie make special appearances in my videos and articles. Miranda & Emma were our donkeys.

I've experienced domestic abuse and violence. It's a cause close to my heart, and I'm passionate about raising awareness and ensuring our beloved pets are protected from such harm. New website and podcasts coming in 2024!

If searching for fascinating pet info, help & advice, best helpful products, free food, head over to Poppy's Pets YouTube channel. Videos include Teddy's thrilling walks in dog-friendly holiday destinations. If you're into green living and gardening, I've got something extra. It's my brand new playlist called "The Worm Gang" and I've just started a new green playlist for "Bokashi" - both use kitchen waste to create nutrient fertiliser for plants. Just go to the Menu bar and hit that YouTube button.
