Rachael Armitage

Rachael Armitage

Rachael is currently a full-time mummy to Dougie, a 6 month old with a real ‘get-up-and-go’ attitude. Prior to motherhood Rachael moved from the bright lights of central London to the desert sands of Oman before settling back in more rural Hertfordshire. She loves the great outdoors and can’t wait to take on more adventures with Dougie and her husband.
