About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I am a mum to 11, 16 and 18 year old girls. I have been living in Ireland for 13 years during which time have been Steiner educating my children, renovating an old house, designing and self building an eco house on our 15 acres, plus a bit of self sufficiency. With my husband and 2 of my girls am now doing a year out in France renovating a house and doing some gardening too! and hopefully a bit of travelling!

PHILOSOPHY

Love is all that matters
Nature is my cure all
I love transformation- gardens, houses, self!
Everyone you meet has something to teach you
Use your instincts,we are losing touch with them
coincidences are important
we are all connected
humour is good therapy
