At home, I love reaching out into that absolute silence, when you can hear the owl or the wind.

We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.

I do quite a lot of art, with a small 'a'. I guess that is how I was dredged up, with paints and crayons. Even when I was at nursery, I knew instinctively how to mix colours, how to make purple or orange.

I'm interested in stories. I think I'm a bit of a pathfinder.
