Paddy has a fascinating life history. She was born and brought up on a remote farm and lived through the bush war as a child and as a politically aware teenager. After a brief spell in a television newsroom, she became a nurse in bush hospitals, coming face to face with the stark realities of war. Later, she qualified as a teacher of English and Latin and was then ordained as a priest. A resident of Dunoon, she has lived and served in Scotland since 1998 and is also a very talented artist.

Paddy is a compelling speaker, and we look forward to hearing about her reflections on Zimbabwe then and now.
