About

I'm a god-free planet-lover. I write, paint, draw, take photographs, potter in the garden, and watch TV a lot. I like dogs, cats, cake, tea, country living, trees, marmalade, Radio 4, chocolate, and bird-song. I don't like gender nonsense, our crap political system, rudeness, or loud noises.

I’ve been a bank clerk, farm worker, art teacher, cleaner, kennel maid, rabbit breeder (for the pot), cook, abstract writer, catering assistant, shop assistant, market gardener, delivery driver, barmaid, interior decorator, office temp, hospital domestic, healthcare researcher, journalist, supply teacher, humanist celebrant, home help, dog walker, house sitter, designer, copy writer, illustrator, portrait artist, video-graphic artist, website admin, benefits claimant and single parent – in no particular order.

I've been politically active since my teens. I've campaigned for women's rights, including the Equal Pay Act 1970 and  Sex Discrimination Act 1975. I've been a tenants' representative with a local authority, founder and chair of its tenants' forum and on its housing panel, and a public speaker, organiser, local councillor and all-round nuisance. Now I spend too much time on the Internet.

Update, 2022
I don't do much any more. Old, tired, weak and inactive. I leave all the energetic stuff to other people.
