I'm not originally from the UK, but that's where I live since January 2010. Just found this site this morning, while looking over a site recommended by my Permaculture Design course instructor. Hope to learn a lot from folks on this forum, and get to know some of you better.
Here's my quick profile, cribbed from my Transition Network profile (and posted here somewhere, too):
I'm an ex-pat from the American South (Virginia and North Carolina), happily relocated to Norfolk, UK since January 2010 with my British wife. We're currently living in Norwich, but looking to relocate to the vicinity of Downham Market in West Norfolk, the better to become more involved with the good folks of Downham & Villages in Transition. Daily I become increasingly committed to walking the sustainable path, living and working to promote and express Transition principles.
In late 2010 I participated in a 2-day Transition training course in Ipswich, Suffolk.
In the Spring and Summer of 2011 I took the six-week Permaculture Design Course offered by Downham & Villages in Transition under the auspices of the Permaculture Association. I'm now certified, but I desire to go for the full Diploma in due time.
My background is journalism, advertising, pre-press and graphic design. I am experienced and up-to-date with the latest Adobe Creative Suite applications (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and am fairly WordPress conversant, though of late I'm mainly an "artist-in-progress," studying drawing and painting in Norfolk. I enjoy working in watercolour and oil, painting landscape, still life and portraiture, as well as drawing the human figure.
But permaculture is where my heart is really at now... and doing my part to further the transition.
