Maggie Campbell

Margaret Campbell grew up in Manchester at a time when the city was still on its knees, post-war. She can just about remember the end of rationing! 

After decades of working as a seamstress in factories, once her children had grown up, Margaret retrained to be a midwife - a career she adored. 

She now lives in a cottage that overlooks the rolling Pennines where she writes, grows rare dahlias and keeps chickens.
