I have been with Seize the Day since I came back from an organic small-scale farming 'WWOOF' tour of Canada in 1999.
I am a keen environmentalist, forester and peace activist since 1992 and I really love chilies.
I went to University to do a performing arts degree but ended up leaving after a year because they made me cut my hair – I've been a rebel against oppression ever since.
In the main I am a lover of nature.
Walking and exploring woodlands and the simple pleasure of the wind is all really need … then there is good food lovingly prepared and nature's apothecary of herbal experience to enjoy.
As a strong believer of organic and heritage food security I was once arrested for preventing the planting of some GM T25 Maize in Dorset. This maize was shown to disorientate bees – we have to do all we can to save bees. No bees = no food.
Personally I don't think its ok to get up people’s nose for every little reason cos we we need to be finding common ground...
But my view is that if something is really important to you and yours, if you truly love what is under threat or care about what is crap and if you are willing to take the consequences then direct action is totally justified to act against that oppression.
I always follow the witch's law of 'harm no-one' (but that's not to say you can't shake things up)
When I'm not seizing the day as an environmental activist I spend my time running an excellent new environmental charity called The C-CHANGE Trust.
Please visit the website www.thec-changetrust.org where you can measure and acknowledge your carbon footprint and then give us a donation based on it.
c-change raises money to fund education for young people on climate change and it re-plants native woodland in Britain to support sustainable lives and habitats. We're raising funds by asking people and businesses to firstly acknowledge and then reduce their carbon emissions - all our projects take place in the UK and we spend 75% of donations on making sure good things happen.
Lastly … I'm wanting to collect 100 of Seize the Day fans best jokes!!!! … radical, clever, and spot one's preferred but all are welcome
Please send jokes to 'b4u2r1 at ntlworld.com'
And really really lastly - Hi to my dear Louise – kitty kitty that I love x
