i have big hands, big feet, a loud mouth and a big grin. I smell of GT85 and i quite like bicycles.

I know some pretty amazing people whose compassion, energy, weaknesses, strengths and passion astound me.

I like: bears, cycling/bicycles, fixing bikes, playing bike polo, yoga, wild swimming, reading, rummaging for gems in old 2nd hand bookshops, yelling, dancing, free parties, DIY gigs, zines, climbing trees, the smell of mud, getting my hands dirty, saying A C E, sharks, learning new things, real ale, lying on my back in pine forests, listening to records and loving the crackle, writing stories, reading stories, listening to stories, being vegan, cycling up mountains, scribbling rambling thoughts, stories and rants in the notebook i carry everywhere i go, moonlight riding, skipping food, drinking fizzy ginger drinks, consensus decision making, smashing noises, maths, dancing in a so-called ridiculous fashion, sunrise, otters, taking responsibility and action for the changes I want to see in the world, helping to build strong compassionate communities, living every moment.

I love reading story books. Tales of adventure and love and despair and magic. My favourite include The Picture of Dorian Gray (Wilde), The Passion (Winterson), Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Stevenson), His Dark Materials (Pullman).

Just a note to say that I'm vegan so please don't send anything with animal products (leather, bone, horn, feathers, wool, and whatnot). Thanks!
