I am a village resident and farmer.  I have lived here all my life (over 50 years) and I am the third generation in my family to farm at Fairview Farm (on the east side of the village), after my Grandparents and Great Uncle moved to the village in 1932. With my Great Uncle, Grandfather and Father all having been part of the Parish Council, I also wanted to become a Parish Councillor to try to care for and help improve this village many of us call home.

 My name is Claire Mountain and I moved to the wonderful village of Easton On The Hill with my husband and 2 teenage children over 4 years. I was born and bred in Scotland, went to Newcastle University almost 30 years ago, ended up marrying a ‘Yellow Belly’ and have lived in and around Lincolnshire ever since! I am a Dentist by trade although am on a career break and have  been back to university, been a property manager for a lettings agency, a project manager and administrator for a building company  and am currently an exams invigilator and an NHS vaccine volunteer. I love playing all sorts of different sports and walking my mini-schnauzer, Tattie!

I consider myself to be responsible, congenial, organised, approachable, hardworking, enthusiastic and energetic. I am good at listening in a non-judgemental and objective way and am open and interested in different opinions and ideas. I have no ulterior motives or vested interests in becoming a Parish Councillor other than I am keen to be involved, help and to do my part to ensure our village and its community continues to thrive and be an enjoyable place for everyone to live.

We (Tim and myself) moved into the village in 2000, making us relative newcomers by Easton standards. Since then we have had three children, who were fortunate enough to benefit from what was our wonderful village pre-school and primary school. After a busy period of involvement with village life I have been on sabbatical, driving around the country ticking off hockey pitches and athletics tracks.   I now feel in a position to once again be able to offer my time to help serve, maintain and improve our amazing village.

I have lived in this wonderful village for 40 years and have seen many changes in that time. I believe that change in communities is a good thing , I also believe that the values that exist in this village should also be guarded and cherished . Having retired from practice I feel now is a good time to be actively involved in the council .

I have lived with my husband in West Street for just over ten years. Our adult children and grandchildren live further North. I took early retirement from teaching.

I have always enjoyed village life and recognise things don’t happen by themselves. Volunteering is a way of helping.

 I helped at the school in Easton in the classroom and as a governor. I also helped at the food bank in Stamford. I became part of the Friends of the Church and contributed to the development of the Peace Garden and Labrynth. Sadly I contracted kidney failure and dialysis followed by two transplants prevented me from most activities. I was able to volunteer for Mindspace in Stamford, which I continue to do. Now thanks to the second transplant I am able to join in activity again after four years. As for many shielded people, lockdown was a dismal affair and coming out of it has provided opportunity to join in village life once more.

 I have been very impressed with what has been achieved in the village over the past few years. I think I could be of positive benefit to the parish council by contributing to the development of well-being of all Easton residents. The well-being training I receive from Mindspace could help me develop that. I am a good communicator and I love to work in a team.
