CURRENT MISSION

to tread lightly

ABOUT ME

I love nature, good food, learning and teaching languages, and all things good for the planet.
I've worked mostly as a teacher of languages, but also as a gardener and on ecological projects.
In (2006)I finished a two-year course in Permaculture which was amazing, taught me lots of new skills and new perspectives.
Last few years I have been learning lots of interesting things like natural building, wine-making, food preserving, carpentry, knitting. To make up for years of being in a classroom either as a student or teacher over-working my brain and under-working the rest!
Now working as an environmental educator with schools in Co. Mayo

PHILOSOPHY

That we need to look after the earth and get reconnected to it and to each other. That there is good in everyone.
