CURRENT MISSION Meet people and get to know other cultures ABOUT ME I'm a poet and lecturer teaching Creative Writing at Sheffield University with undergraduates and mature students. I also teach for the Workers Educational Association and I do workshops in schools. I sing in a choir and love walking in the countryside. I love classical music and the theatre. I'm also a member of Servas. PHILOSOPHY Getting on with other people, listening to them, realising that all people have likes and dislikes, some of which you can be enthusiastic about, but always sympathetic.

I have hosted Servas travellers from France, Germany, Spain, Norway, USA, India and Hungary.
