I am very curious and love to learn new things. I work as a high school art teacher, which for me is the most exciting job in the world. Outside of work I play mandolin, cycle, explore the outdoors, cook, draw, and read probably a book per week. I have more books than I know what to do with! I love listening to Celtic & Appalachian music, which is the kind of music I play. In addition, I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. My dream one day is to live by the sea, have a huge tumbledown garden, and keep chickens. I currently have an elderly cat called Zadie, who is my reading companion.
