ABOUT ME

Hi there
It's only recently that I've based myself in a footloose way in Cornwall and Devon. I was inspired to come here after studying permaculture design and realising the south west would be a good place to experience the ideas in practice. In Cornwall I've been helping with the build of a round wood timber framed straw bail house. In Totnes I've been working weekends in a natural parenting baby shop. I've loved visits to dartington hall gardens and Sharpham Trust. I love poetry, walks, singing, nature, meditation- the way in which all of these things support me in my politics. It's a cliche in Totnes but even so I love to forage and cook wild food. When I finally base myself somehwere I will be delighted to offer a couch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In America I found myself sitting in a steaming sulphurous hot spring in olympic national park, having to jump out every 15 minutes to roll in snow. the whole park was drenched in mist and steamy and white and wonderful. It was truly amazing.
