Me, My Friends, My Family

This is what I look like at the moment. Click to see some photos of me with some splendid people I know and have known...

            

Hello!   I wonder how you came to end up here...

I can't imagine why anybody who doesn't already know me (in some sense) would end up at this webpage... but if you've chanced across it on a random online walk, you're most welcome, and I do hope you find something of interest. Have a look at the headings above to read more.

Who am I?

I am a 34-year old East Londoner. A Unitarian. A textile artist (of sorts). An old-fashioned leftie. An enthusiast. A reader and a listener. A hoarder. A tea-drinker. A sturdy companion. In terms of astrological archetypes: Taurus sun, Scorpio rising, Pisces moon (i.e. I've got a soft centre).

There are so many possible answers to this that it could become a very long list...

Why bother having a webpage?

I want to collect all my bits and bobs together somewhere presentable. This is all very much work-in-progress so this modest site is keeping its head down and hoping for a low profile.

And what sort of bits and bobs might I be collecting here?

Mostly photographs, artworks, links, and vague thoughts... we'll see what evolves. In all likelihood, updates to this site will be quite intermittent, so it might be wiser to keep in touch via Facebook or Twitter (where I go by the name of 'monastico').

Here are some recent tweets to be getting on with...
