About Me

Heather: I live in Cowshill, a village 383 metres above sea level in Co. Durham. I have lived here since 1980. Mark, our son, has a daughter Katie. Susan, our daughter is married to David and they have Lucy and Oliver. I have worked part-time in the hotel in the village since 1980, and during the last few years, when Mark and Susan became adults, I studied with the Open University and gained an BSc(Hons)IT; Computing, a PGCE with Sunderland University, and BA Theology from Durham University. I am now a Priest and Curate in Durham diocese. I was born in Wolsingham and moved to Ireshopeburn in 1969. My dad's maternal ancestors came from Upper Weardale, the Elliotts, and tracing further back are Pearts from Rush near Cowshill and Emmersons from Wham near Wearhead. His dad was from Cornwall and moved to Weardale after WWI. My mam's family are from Willington and Close Houses near Bishop Auckland, although she was raised in Hamsterley.
