i live in a small cabin in the country, i have a radio show,
i play guitar, bodhran, mandolin, fiddle and nyckelharpa and
enjoy travelling in my motor home and going to music festivals.
I share my home with a dog, 6 cats at the moment...4 of which
are quite tiny and will have new homes in a few weeks i hope,
2 canaries, whose singing i adore!! (oh yes and a terrarium
with several dozen walking stick insects) i am a vegtarian
and i like coffee and chocolate. Currently i am studying t.v.
and motion picture photography at the local community college.
Although not completely off the grid, some of my power comes
from solar panels with more to be added to the solar array soon.
