G’day,
I live at Shortland, which is on the edge of Hexham Swamp, on the outskirts of Newcastle, New South Wales, which everybody knows is in Australia. To relax I paint in oils, read anything, and enjoy cryptic crosswords (usually the local newspaper, they are easier!). To unrelax I am interested in ornithology, apiculture, history, all aspects of natural history, plant propagation - mainly herbs, which I sell at a local market and internet interloping.
My teeth are getting long, my sight is getting short, my hearing is getting hard, and my joints are getting stiff but I don’t believe I’m getting old. I have two children, eight grandchildren, two corgi dogs (girls) and a garden full of weeds. My neighbors see my garden as a mess; I see it as valuable habitat! Our garden is the home to lizards, large and small, many species of birds and we are visited by the odd snake. Each day when I have nothing better to do I watch the sunset behind the distant mountains as I enjoy a cup of tea and swat the mosquitoes.
Why ‘lugworm’? For a period of my life I dug lugworms for a living at Blakeney, Norfolk. Hard yakka, believe me!

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
