Lou Eade

Born in the momentous year of the Silver Jubilee, 1977, Louise, affectionately known as Lou, spent her formative years in Tonbridge, Kent. Following her college education, she found herself employed by the local council while nurturing a deep passion for writing, particularly poetry. At the tender age of 20, Lou welcomed her first child, a daughter named Tianny.

In 2003, Lou married and subsequently expanded her family with two boys, Kieran and Thomas.

The family's journey took a geographical turn in 2005 when they relocated to Blackpool to undertake the management of a small hotel on Wellington Road.

Welcoming another daughter, Emily, in 2008 and a son, Benjamin, in 2010 coincided with the family's decision to settle in residential living. The entrepreneurial spirit persisted, and in 2013, amidst running a flourishing café on Holmfield Road, Lou and her family enjoyed the arrival of yet another daughter, Amelia.

The ebb and flow of life took an emotional turn in 2021 when Lou, feeling the pull of her roots, chose an amicable separation and divorce from her husband.

Settling in Hastings, East Sussex, in 2022, Lou rekindled a romance with her childhood sweetheart, Andi, culminating in their marriage in 2023.

Together, they established a home in Hastings, sharing it with Lou's two youngest daughters and the family pet dogs, Snooch, a Dogue de Bordeaux and their two cats Looby, a Bombay and Enzo, a Maine Coon.

The fabric of Lou's contented life was unexpectedly frayed when tragedy struck a mere three days after returning home.

Her mother was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 lung cancer.

Lou and her brother cared for their Mum during her final days, honouring her wish to remain at home rather than seek hospital care.

Despite the profound loss, Lou, now settled and content with her life, channelled her spare time into a creative endeavour – writing her debut book, "The Fall." In the midst of life's unpredictable twists, she found solace and purpose in crafting her own narrative on the pages of her newfound literary venture.
