CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

We are a cross-Atlantic couple, one American one Welshie, living in Brighton with 2 guinea pigs. Maia the American was studying Medical Anthropology and Martyn the Welshie is Pharmacying...we have lots of medical arguments. We also love music, day trips, long trips, eating, dancing, growing things, art, films, cooking, baking, piggy banks. A day in the life includes arguments over the American v British way of saying things and a constant reference to Maia's vegetarianism and how it is wrong. We love radiohead and if you don't then we don't want you on our couch...hehehe.

PHILOSOPHY

lots of laughing is good for the heart, sameness is boring, and it's always wise to keep a piggy bank.
