Esther Chilton

Good morning Esther and welcome. Can you tell us a bit about ‘you’?

I live in Thatcham, Berkshire, with my husband, daughter, three cats and two chinchillas.

I love reading. I enjoy crime, as well as psychological thrillers and I’m especially passionate about children’s books. One of my favourite stories is by the author Cornelia Funke. When Santa Fell to Earth is a beautiful book, full of magic and wonder. It’s a treat to read.

On a Saturday morning I can be found at my local Cats Protection with my daughter. We are socialisiers, which means we spend time with the cats, especially the ones who haven’t had much human contact. I’ve fallen in love with many and have homed three rescue cats so far! I’ve just been asked to take over as editor for their magazine, so that’ll be an exciting new venture for next year.

When did…
