More details about your skills

I love making things out of wood or metal (trained in both, and am currently building a boat). I have a lot of IT skills. I can lay bricks, do plumbing, fix electrics (no certification). I've fitted windows, doors, built walls, laid carpets and flooring, tiled bathrooms, fitted baths, toilets and sinks. There's not a lot I can't do - but I will say if I can't.

Also love animal husbandry and gardening - kept chickens for years, also geese, ducks, quail and bees. We grow a lot of our own food.

I studied Engineering, an MBA, MSc in Computer Science, and currently studying Marine Renewable Energy.

I've run a film production company - I can operate cameras, audio recording and edit movies. I trained in photography.

I have acted on the stage many times and appeared in a couple of movies.
