Nell Frizzell is a freelance writer and casual lifeguard. She has written for, among others, the Guardian, VICE, the Telegraph, Elle, Grazia, the Observer and is a Vogue columnist. She spent two happy summers standing on the deck of the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond as a lifeguard. Nell has also featured several times on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Short Cuts and as a guest on Radio 5 Live, BBC London and (surprisingly often) on BBC Radio Ulster. As well as journalism, Nell has written and performed comedy, is a seamstress and knitter, and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to teach her baby to love the outdoors as much as she does.
