She accompanied her husband, Richard Freeth, whom she married in 1951[6][7] to the bauxite mining town of Mackenzie, British Guiana (now Linden, Guyana) and wrote Run Softly, Demerara (1960) about her experiences there.
Her later writings were on Middle Eastern topics, including a children's book, Rashid of Saudi Arabia (2001).
Her brother, Hanmer Yorke Warrington Saud ("Dickie") Dickson, MBE, who had served as H.M. Acting Commissioner in Anguilla,[8][9] died in May 2005.
Her obituary in the Girton College alumni magazine described her as "a respected author who wrote about Kuwait and Arabia in the days before the oil boom".
