My Passions

During my life I have had many hobbies and passions. Here is a list of some of them: Scouting, Chess, Computers, DIY, cooking, reading, music, camping, cycling, travelling, theatre, Tai Chi, football, squash, badminton, guitar, piano, photography, ice skating, swimming, massage, folk festivals and public speaking

Currently I am learning Salsa dancing. Here in Bristol you can find a Salsa class most evenings. Salsa is a very lively dance, with great music. And it is great fun too

Whatever I am doing, reading is always an important part of it. I will read every available minute, even whilst brushing my teeth. I read far and wide, both magazines (e.g. The Ecologist, Resurgence, New Scientist and New Internationalist) and books. Most of the books I read are non-fiction, such as many of the personal development classics, philosophy (Ken Wilber being my current favourite), bringing up children and popular science books
