Where I've come from: I grew up in Leicester, lived in Yorkshire throughout my 20’s and 30’s and now living in Cheshire

I like: meditation, yoga, gardening, walking, IT, Marc Bolan and chocolate 

A moral I live my life by: “You end up as you deserve. In old age, you must put up with the face, the friends, the health and the children you have earned.” Fay Weldon.

How I'm trying to live more sustainably: Recycling and reusing, using environmentally friendly products whenever I can, not using a car or planes. 

I believe the greatest threat to our current society and environment is... the belief that one person cannot make a difference, when (to paraphrase Margaret Mead) it’s the only thing that ever will.

My 'dirty (sustainability) secret': After years of using only Ecover washing liquid, I became addicted to Bold crushed silk and jasmine and I’m now trying to wean myself off it again! 

It may surprise you to know but... I’ve only flown 4 times in the last 10 years

If things had turned out differently I might have been... in a boring job!
