Profile

I'm UK born and bred and my family were initially working class but my upbringing was decidedly lower-middle class thanks to my parents' hard work. I developed an interest in environmentalism early on in life, and later became interested in alternative spirituality. At university I studied English Literature. I now work in an office (because, as I discovered, English Lit doesn't qualify you for any particular career - but actually, I love my job). I live, as I have always done, in England. I'm married, without kids (we keep cats instead). I like to believe I'm young at heart, and I think I'm a weird, contradictory mixture of cynicism and idealism.

I previously described this blog as just a mini one, and from a 'self-confessed airhead'! But I like to think I've graduated, maybe, to a 'proper' blog...

This blog previously used to be on Blogger, so some of the early posts have dates they were originally created and posted.
