Pip was the Cornish-born elder daughter of Alec George WALKER and his wife Kathleen EARLE, the creators of Crysede hand-printed silks. She was also to become an artist with a wide range of talents. She has written the story of her own life in The Pink House (which is Myrtle Cottage, Newlyn), and Mark Vaughan has encapsulated her life as a natural ecologist in a fine article in Resurgence magazine.
