About Lesley

I'm living the exciting life in Cambridgeshire!

I get to write a super cool pet niche column for the fabulous Withernsea & District Community News. This excellent newspaper reaches all the fantastic homes along the East Yorkshire coast and even goes inland. It's not just for the locals though; tourists can get their paws on it too from local outlets.

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. We even owned donkeys called Miranda & Emma too.

But wait, there's more to me than just writing about pets! I'm a survivor, a warrior against 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 you want the inside scoop on fascinating pet info, help & advice, best helpful products, free food, head over to Poppy's Pets YouTube channel. It's the place to be, including Teddy's thrilling walks in dog-friendly holiday destinations. If you're into sustainable living and gardening, I've got something extra. It's my brand new playlist called "The Worm Gang." Get ready to dive into the amazing world of creating your very own nutrient-rich fertiliser. Just go to the Menu bar and hit that YouTube button. Let's have some fun together and make the world a better place for our furry friends!
