I live in Bristol with my girlfriend Claire. I enjoy the variety life can offer. Easy-going, sociable, loves food and cycling. We both love art and design, are attracted to ingenuity and alternative ways of living. We have a green perspective and try to live in a conscientious way, but aren’t keen on labels or conformity. Until recently we lived on a narrowboat in London, before moving to the Auvergne in France, and now to Bristol, UK.
