She has taught quite a lot too.
Lindsay studied Fashion Knitwear at Nottingham Trent and has designed clothes for most of the UK high street. She ran a successful Childrenswear Design & Manufacturing business for just a little too long. Latterly she has been writing: her short stories and poetry have been published in anthologies and magazines.
