Description

Nature is really my thing! I am a also a Workaway host so feel free to look up my profile and feedback. I love to be busy and always have several projects on the go. I have a strong work ethic and always aim to please. At the grand age of 52 (yes, I am in my prime! ;)) I want to see what its like on the other side of Workaway. My hope is to meet interesting people who are as passionate about nature and biodiversity as I am. I hope to learn, be inspired, and hopefully do the same for others.

More details about your skills

My degree is in mechanical engineering but my chosen career was teaching design, technology and engineering to 11-18 year olds in the UK, which I did for about 20 years. I was doing the teaching, but I learned so much myself in that time. We are all hopefully lifelong learners! I have a great understanding of materials, tools, techniques, and a myriad of skills, but wouldn't consider myself a master of any one of them. I've done everything from camper conversions to restoring my own stone built 200+ year old cottage. I have always been a gardener, which brings me joy every day of the year. The photos of my place will testify to that!
My other passion is animals, particularly dogs. I have been involved in dog rescue charities for many years, and have fostered many more animals than I can count! My little dog Nellie travels everywhere with me and is super well behaved!

Age

53

What else ...

I like good conversation, a wide variety of music, love to dance and socialise, but also find that I need solitude in nature to recharge my batteries. I enjoy many crafts -mosaic making, crochet, sewing, furniture making and recycling. I like to have a go at everything at least once, and love learning new skills. I am well travelled, love history, science classic literature, maths.... ok I'm curious and interested in most things, except maybe competitive sports!
