Claire Elizabeth Back was born and raised in Pembrokeshire. With generations of local farmers, sailors and fishermen in her family tree, she has always felt a deep connection to this part of the Welsh coast, and although she now lives in North Wales, Pembrokeshire will forever be considered “home”.
