Welcome to a place where I can think about things and share those thoughts with you. Thinking and learning are what I do,  both professionally and to make things make sense. I'm not sure my thoughts are anything profound, but hopefully they might be a bit thought-provoking, a bit interesting, and a recognition that things aren't always as straight-forward as we might like.

I am a teacher, a forever-student, a gardener, a cricketer, a mountain-biker, an historian, and a cross-stitcher. I like to cook and I love to eat; I like to travel and I love to stay at home. I love to read and I like to write - you can be the judge of how that goes.

I live on five acres of hillside with my husband and two teenagers, commonly known as the Toads. We share those five acres with one dog, two cats, seven chickens, two goats, five sheep, and lots of trees. I like trees. And sunsets - we have the best sunsets*
