I live in beautiful West Wales, by the sea. I worked for Greenpeace a long time ago, also drove their Campaign Bus - an old London Routemaster. I'm currently traveling around South Island, NZ. I was brought up in Epsom, Surrey, England - it's where the Derby's run - I'm horsey but not completely bonkers! I smoke n drink wine/ beer on occasion. Sharp sense of humour, well, British...... I hold a full bike n car licence, drove a lorry for a couple of years in London. I'm a gardener, but mostly work on a boat nowadays. I have 3 cat's & a grumpy Tortoise.
