I share my life with many people - both 2 & 4 legged. I hate seeing animals in cages so no birds or fishbowls for me. Pig are extremely smart and I love my piggy even if she bosses everyone around. The cats have the run of the house but the dogs get their cuddles in too. My children and my animals are all in my will.

I basically eat vegan 99.9% of the time, but I have to eat a very small amount of red meat every week because I can't absorb non-heme iron. I've been severally anaemic before and my only other options at this stage are hemodialysis or an iron IV. It hurts my heart that I can never be 100% vegan so please don't bully me about it. I've tried all the nutritional options but no joy.

I'm not afraid of any living creature but have healthy respect for them and their place in the world. I celebrate spiders in my garden because I know the eco system is healthy if it can support apex predators. I have a very small carbon footprint. I recycle, reuse, repurpose, buy eco, grow most of my own food & buy local. I walk or ride almost everywhere. I'm tech savvy but think social media is turning us into narcissists.

I love life and try not to become jaded or bitter about the fact that there are many nasty things in the world because there are also so many magical things out there. From the length of my piglets' lashes to the soft pink paws of my kitten, from the colours of the lorikeet's feathers to the stillness of the hovering hawk. Life is beautiful!
