More details about your skills

Well there are rather a lot of skills I have acquired over the years - anything to do with building, stone, brick, wood, roof, concreting, mortaring, windows, shutters, terraces, plumbing, electricity, cabins, garages. Plastering, insulation, painting. I have rebuilt a number of houses for myself.

Gardening (vegetables, fruit trees), weeding, felling trees, clearing woods, preparing firewood. Foraging, preserving. Cooking mostly vegetarian food - not an expert but a very willing assistant!!

Using tractor for all kinds of projects.

I may be over three score years and ten, but the body still functions well and enjoys physical work.

I like all kinds of boats, motor and sailing. I spent a couple of years in the Caribbean, sailing from Virgin Islands down to Barbados.

I studied social anthropology, doctorate in Sicily, taught for several years at London University, and like sharing knowledge. All kinds of culture interest me - and enjoy learning something new. So many people much to share. Travelled to many countries in my life.

Reading books to others. Singing with others. Sharing all kinds of activities.

What else ...

I am really interested in knots, making things with paracord. I like music, play guitar and sing a bit. Walking to discover new sites, places, nature, water, rivers, lakes, sea. I love the sun and warmth. Sunset my delight in life. Learning ever more about nature, ecology, simple life, how to help humanity into the future. I like card games, some board games - played many with my two children. Visitng museums, going to concerts, local festivals, just observing how communities function and participating as much as possible.
