After leaving school she became an itinerant journalist whilst also working for two of the most well-known auction houses in London. In 1991, after a lightning romance, she married Francis Fulford andbecame chatelaine of Great Fulford, a large rambling, mainly Tudor, manor that has been in the family for eight hundred years.
