Having spent most of my life in large cities, I revel in the peace of the small Welsh community, where I live with my cats. I can never get enough of looking out across the valley to the mountains. I have a blog about living in Wales, in the Rhondda and a second one about anything that catches my attention: WriteAngled Witters on the World. I hope you will pay them a visit!

My main interest is Egyptology and I have a particular fondness for the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet. Esotericism, Jungian psychology, astrology and tarot also fascinate me.

I fiddle and sing with Immanuel's Ground West Gallery quire.West Gallery was the music of the English village church, performed by a small group of singers and the village band. The Victorians replaced the fiddles, clarinets and serpents, and the raucous (oops, I mean rousing), full-blooded music with organs and Hymns Ancient and Modern (hiss, boo!). Thomas Hardy writes about the extinction of one such quire in his Under the Greenwood Tree.

I love classical, world and folk music and am trying to learn more about Welsh folk fiddle and songs.

There is never enough time to read as much as I want. I read all sorts of fiction and non-fiction, but particularly enjoy fantasy and murder mysteries.
