Elaine works remotely from her home in North Yorkshire, where she lives with her husband and occasionally has a house full of kids and family to feed, which she loves. For downtime, she enjoys yoga, is a keen sculptor when she has time, loves nothing more than pottering about in the garden and long walks in the glorious Yorkshire landscape.
