CURRENT MISSION

To encourage everyone to abandon business as usual, and embrace a transition to a lifestyle which uses 80% less energy, and which is truly sustainable - all while surviving personally for as long as possible, as happily as possible!

ABOUT ME

I think I will fill this in later - come and stay with Jenny, Tara the lurcher pup, Claud and Celeste the cats, others (sometimes), and me - then you won't have to read it here!

If you are thinking of coming to stay, or having me to stay, friend me on FB, http://facebook.com/sweynh , or find my professional self on LinkedIn, http://linkedin.com/in/sweynh (I'm no longer on what was twitter much).

PHILOSOPHY

Try to treat people as they would like to be treated. Do something about what you believe in, while listening to other points of view, and changing course if that seems sensible or necessary. Engage, but respect privacy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun shining brightly in the sky at 10pm over the Stenness loch in Orkney. My daughter's enquiring little face the moment after she was born. Performing Shakespeare in the open air among the ruins of Roma Monastry on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Other things. (That's a few things!)

Great idea, this - no idea how to respond!
