CURRENT MISSION
Creating a sustainable lifestyle using permaculture, recycling and solar energy.

ABOUT ME
Please note: It is no longer Pam Cowan but John Cowan. I will try to change it on the profile when I can.
Having traveled quite widely my horizons now are a little narrower focusing, like Candide, on my garden and matters closer to home. I cycle regularly both here and overseas and try to swim two or three times a week. I volunteer with Special Olympics and our local bush fire Brigade, organise concerts, love reading and lively discussions. I have just - Christmas 2018 - become single again for the first time in 39 years.

PHILOSOPHY
A stranger is a friend I haven't met yet.
