“Dear Louise, I have much pleasure in thanking you further for coming along to our Society last Tuesday. So entertaining and informative (no one nodded off) you kept us totally entranced by the way in which you delivered your talk.
It just seemed so different from the usual we get and therefore by ALL accounts, was so very well received. The subject, the knowledge, the humour, and the participation, made the perfect mix for a splendid evening.
You truly gave us a most memorable few hours, thank you indeed from all the members. Take care and enjoy your challenges! Best wishes, Diana”

Earlier this year, I was contacted by students from Goldsmiths, University of London. They wanted to meet with me to find out more about my work for their current projects.

Frances Rankin is a third year journalism student who is interested in environmental news and video editing. Her final project is about mole catchers in the UK. Alex Wilson is also in her third year studying at Goldsmiths. She would like to pursue a career in data journalism or video production after her studies.

Josie Beardsmore is a design student at Goldsmiths and is currently working on a project about how ecosystems and their interactions are influenced by humans. She has been creating work about trying to understand species in the UK and is interested in finding out more about moles.

Frances & Alex said:

“We spent the day with Louise to find out what it’s like to be a mole catcher, and specifically a female working in the industry. Louise is quick-paced and fun! Her work allows her to spend a lot of time outdoors and travel around Norfolk. She’s got big plans for where she wants to see the mole catching profession go and has strong ideas of how mole catchers should operate.”
