Hello, fellow adventurers in Dissconnected!

What I can offer Diss and district:-

• knowledge about local wildlife and heritage and how to communicate it through words, images and exhibitions;
• information management e.g. databases, catalogues;
• copy-writing and proof-reading and other editorial skills;
• education development work;
• languages, particularly French.

My favourite things include:- Handel's Oboe Concertos, The New Tango Orquesta, black chocolate and tango dancing.

My heroes include:- Phillip Pullman, Gregory Bateson, Thomas Paine and John Wymer.

What I like about Diss:- friends who live there.

What changes I would like to see in Diss:-

• removal of all parking charges to help make town more convivial and useful; removal of Tesco and Morrison supermarkets on grounds of outsize, arrogant ghastliness and toxic effect on small shops;
• restoration of lime trees along Madgett's Walk beside the Mere.

How I am trying to live a more sustainable life: finding virtue in material poverty.

What I want for a better future: electoral reform, so our votes count equally towards electing a representative of our choice.
