Am a bit of a jack of all trades re instruments dabbling in guitars/ piano/ soprano sax/ banjo/ various harmonicas and whistles ... would love to be a master of something one day!!! I love conversation, nature, arts and creativity... I ask a lot of questions... I am an advocate for equality, human rights, diversity, justice, ecology... I am married to Bill who is a multi-talented artist and musician, an excellent chef and all round mighty fine person. We have a daughter who has turned our lives upside down in the best possible way and continues to teach us and inspire us on a daily basis...
