Sue Woodcock writes a diary for the Yorkshire Post on a Saturday and is officially one of England’s top 20 eccentrics, from a book by Henry Hemmings called ‘In Search of the English Eccentric’. This may have had something to do with living above Grassington in a house with no facilities we all take for granted.  A published author of murder mysteries set in Yorkshire, she has been a shepherd and, before joining the police was, for a short time, a professional opera singer.  Currently she is singing in four choirs, has several rescue dogs, one geriatric cat, is involved with various crafts such as spinning, knitting, patchwork (out of men’s ties) and tapestry.

Do bring any old ties you may have so that they can be re-purposed for charity.

All she asks is that the audience laugh, either at her or with her, she doesn’t mind which.
