About Me

CURRENT MISSION

go to Argentina!

ABOUT ME

I live with my partner Mikala. We've been together for many years and have two wonderful daughters, both grown up and great travellers as well. We live with a cat and dog in a beautiful village in the cotswolds, a friendly lively alternative place with great countryside. I am a glass artist and I have a studio nearby. I make sculpture and do commissions and exhibitions. Not the easiest way to make a living but very rewarding and not boring. I love sailing and spend quite a lot of time messing around on my boat or going sailing. I also like walking, reading, music, cooking, travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember life is a precious gift and to enjoy and treasure it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music especially 'world music',eg Gotan Project, Manu Chao, Mariza, Yasmin Levy, Radio Tarifa, Amadu and Miriam,Rodrigo y Gabriela, I could go on and on.
