Norwegian Slow TV nutter, old graveyards, dawn and dusk, ancient woods, prehistoric sites, wild places, photography, ambient electronic and classical music.

Former tour guide in Chester, Crewe and Nantwich with a good knowledge of ancient British sites throughout the mainland UK and Orkney.

I have restricted dietary preferences so struggle with anything not typically British (curry, pizza and kebabs are a safe bet ;) ).

I blog about Slow TV here www.slowtelevision.blogspot.com and you can find me on the usual social media platforms.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can usually talk about ancient sites at length, researching them to visit etc

I enjoy thinking about the big questions, not sure if I ever find any answers, but the exploration can be fun.
Pondering 'Slow TV' and things related to slowness.

I have media skills: video, photography, sound recording / editing

If I stay with you in Crewe, Nantwich or Chester, I could offer you a tour!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, enjoyment of music, photography. Always happy to take photos to remember moments, places and having fun.

A willingness to join in with any chores and housework that need doing. I tidy up after myself very conscientiously.

I love gardening, so any garden maintenance which needs doing, I can help out.
