PHILOSOPHY

I'm a citizen of the world, even tho I pay my taxes in the UK.

I'm Quaker, ie egalitarian, hardcore pacifist, undogmatic, quite blunt, try t set aside time to enjoy inner stillness.

Our tradition is to try to live adventurously, and walk cheerfully seeking out the very best there is in everyone.
