Autorenporträt
Born and bred in Paddington, Jane and her young family moved to the East End in the mid-1980s, and she had two very distinct careers before Eastgate Larder was born. Using her linguistic background - she is fluent in French and German - Jane worked as an equities broker in the City for almost 17 years. Slowly, Jane began to plot her way out of City life. By then, Jane had met David, a Suffolk boy from a farming background, and they discussed where they wanted to live. They chose Eastgate, a tiny hamlet near Cawston in Norfolk. There they began the next chapter of their lives, and planted a medlar orchard https: //www.instagram.com/eastgatelarder/?hl=en
