Ann's early career was within the printing industry. Part of her job was to write technical leaflets for their products. Since retiring, Ann has taken up writing and painting. Other hobbies are collecting and riding historic motorcycles, gardening and reading.

She lives in a small hamlet in North Kent with her husband Mike and is owned by three cats. An active member of the local Village Hall Committee, Ann has written and produced an annual newsletter for the past five years. Originally a single page, it has now increased to two and includes some photographs. Last year, Ann was the principal architect in producing a village calendar for 2009. She has also created one for 2010 and many of the photographs were taken by her. Ann's success as an artist was recorded in the Daily Express in a feature by journalist Kelly Rose Bradford:-
