Interests and background

I have always been involved in the community. 

Working in the past as a volunteer at Jones's Mill, I have recently been involved with "Plant for our lives" and their amazing hedge planting projects. I have only recently become involved in this and have so far only been to the west of Pewsey.  I will continue to actively contribute and promote this vital cause.

​

Actively involved in Carnival on a Float team (Pewsey's Yet to Be's) which is massive fun.  Not just the procession itself, but the planning and building of the float. Perhaps proof I do not take myself too seriously parading around the village as a Circus Strongman, although I did have a sense of civic pride as the Mayor of Trumpton.   Previously I have assisted with marshalling most events several times,  and have taken part in most events several times. It's a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun.  We have plans to get our float out to other carnivals and promote Pewsey and the Carnival. 

​

You may find me wandering about the countryside (whenever commitments allow) enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of the Vale.  You may also find me having a refreshing pint or two afterwards. 

​

An amateur musician, and former member of the RSCM I have occasionally sung at assorted church services and other events.  I thoroughly enjoy Sea shanties and was singing them over 10 years ago - before they became fashionable.   I like that Sea shanties have become popular, any participatory activity that is inclusive, social and fun has to be a good thing.  It is also another good excuse to have a pint or two.
