CURRENT MISSION

alternative education of sorts.. I want to learn to knit and whittle and garden etc.

ABOUT ME

My name is Flora Nancy Sarah Jones and I come from a family of artists; my mum is an artist, my dad and brother are graphic designers and my eldest brother is a builder.. which doesn't quite fit, but nevertheless I am (strangely enough) pretty artistic. I'm attracted to pretty places and things and people, in fact I'm fascinated by people altogether, they seem to be my main interest; I want to draw them and write about them and befriend them and see how they live.. I've just finished college and now that formal education is finally over I can learn about the things I'm really interested in and travel and meet people and all sorts! Home at the moment is a menagerie. I live on an unconventional farm with my parents; we keep far too many chickens, 3 or 4 geese, 5 semi tame sheep, wild ducks that I saved as ducklings from a fox who return each spring to hatch their babies in our garden, A vicious female parrot named Colnel, 4 dogs, 1 cat, a tame duck named wellington who follows you around nibbling your toes, and a tame Magpie named Max Jackson who sits on your head and breaks things. I used to have 3 budgies and a pet rat too, but unfortunately they are no more.

PHILOSOPHY

it all seems alright to me.

Interests

I like books and arts and arting and music and cooking and hills and the sea and sewn artifacts and curly hair and headscarfs and housewifery and old stuff and tame birds..
