Besides writing what else do I do?
I like:
Going for bike rides, gardening, sitting and thinking, sitting and not thinking, curling up in a nice warm bed with a good book (current favourites are British author Maggie Gee and Canadian genius Margaret Atwood) riding on trains, drinking red wine, doing the Guardian crossword, occasional back-packing, walking in the Welsh hills, watching The Simpsons, cooking, stroking guinea pigs, watching Puffins, going to plays, making sculptures out of scrap. (see pictures - Miss Wales 1998 and Tap head) I also love to draw, though not well enough to do the pictures for my own books. I make and sell cards using recycled paper (to see them click on the Shippo link below)
