Spaghetti in my Hair is Clare Stimpsons first travelogue, which is set in three parts. The Early days tells the story of her life in Modena between the years 1974 1978. Part II Italy Revisited describes living in San Remo, holidaying in various resorts with a character from part one, and travelling through Italy in a V.W. called Doris with three girls to the Gargano in Puglia. The final part Enigmatic Italy, describes how Clare was influenced by her mother who hitch-hiked to Sicily in 1949
As a young girl, Clare was brought-up on stories of her mothers adventures in Italy and determined that one day, she too, would live in that land of dreams
In 1970, before setting foot on Italian soil, Clare trained to be an art teacher at Shoreditch Teachers Training College in Surrey. She taught pottery for a year in a west London comprehensive, before fleeing in relief to Italy to teach E.F.L. or English as a Foreign Language to a more receptive audience. On return to England she retrained to teach design and technology in Winchester and has been employed in many teaching posts. Her present job involves teaching art and English GCSE.
Clare has always enjoyed writing and used to entertain her sisters with bedtime stories that she invented spontaneously. She has always been fascinated by travel and at teacher training college, studied geography alongside art. As a teenager she kept various holiday journals and at the tender age of thirteen had a poem about autumn published in the Liverpool Echo.
Clare now lives in Southampton with her husband Gordon and three sons Joe, Alex and Jamie. She describes herself as being obsessed with Italy and feels that her Italian experience has played an enormous part in shaping her life.
