About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to develop my own learning and my teaching and research work. To walk to Tuscany next summer to enjoy the journey but alos to raise awareness of water pollution from heavy irins, plastic etc. To survive well the M E I was diagnosed with 3 year

ABOUT ME

I love life and people most of the time-even the grumpy ones make me laugh usually, but do get "peopled out ". Probably a gregarious optimist who need a real life mix. This week-as an example-Breton dancing, research and writing, involvement with local community, centre, helping a friend cook for her stall, and volunteer gardening. Big cook up today-homemade oatcakes and wheat free baking, meditation and walking. etc.Love lots of different music, woods and beach, weather -in all its variety, twilight-seeing people enjoying each other. Hate-smoking, bad food, cars and pollution -money, conflict and want.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live if you can. Never presume that you can know someone elses experience. Be open but wise. Try to live morally and responsibly and make life and the world better.--just small stuff really !
Don't case yourself in concrete-look for the opportunities -even in what may seem negative.

Been to Chicago in the winter -minus 30.
Ridden pillion on motorbike through Franace and on on enight saw a forrest fire and fox and cubs in a moonlit wood. Sand storm and the rains in Morrocco.
