A POET who writes tailor-made verses for special occasions will be showing off her work at a craft fair tomorrow.

Wheelchair-bound Helen Marley, who suffers from cerebral palsy, runs Palmtree Paradise Personal Poetry Service from her home in Medomsley Road, Consett.

The 23-year-old will be exhibiting her cards and verses at a craft fair at Stanley Day Centre, in Wear Road.

Helen began writing poetry at the age of 11 and has now turned her talent into a business after friends began to ask her for personal poems for all sorts of occasions.
