CURRENT MISSION Complete the list ABOUT ME I'm at a stage of life (well, today anyway) of enjoying community. The estate we live in is fairly well separated from the rest of the city geographically giving us great opportunity to live life with those around us. I like that our neighbours are our friends. I love God, my wife and my writing bureau. I like to read and take things easy. I'm not an excitable person. I don't understand the appeal of music. I don't like conflict. Whatever hospitality I learnt, it was from my Mum. I work for an Oxford based charity heading up their Communications and Development side of things. I like writing. I'm quite simple in many ways. I like cake. And tea. And making you laugh. PHILOSOPHY The list This has been ongoing since I was a wean in late 90s. Some are completed.
