Interests
Reading, cooking, technology, theatre, rural life and the questions that send me down another interesting path.
Follow the curiosity ↓Making & understanding
Websites, systems, video editing and production share a satisfying challenge: take several pieces and make something coherent. Reading and learning keep adding more pieces.
Cooking has a more immediate result, and there is something rather good about a useful task that ends with people around a table.
Beyond the roles
Some are active, some appear occasionally and some belong to earlier chapters. They all leave something useful behind.
Sound, projection, streaming, networks and all the calm preparation behind a live moment.
From breakfast to festival kitchens: food as practical service, welcome and community.
Building useful corners of the internet, improving systems and seeing what an idea can become.
Following questions across technology, business, faith, people and whatever has sparked curiosity this week.
Turning raw material into something coherent, watchable and useful.
A practical appreciation shaped by time helping on a cattle and sheep farm; machinery, animals and work with visible results.
Still an interest, even when there is rather more Cornwall than snow in the diary.
Years of designing and operating theatre sound and lighting, including leadership at Belfrey Theatre.
A long-standing interest, although no longer a regular part of the week.
Shotokan karate formed part of an earlier chapter and remains part of the wider story.
No longer riding, but still one of the interests that helped shape earlier years.
Not a current role, but previous youth leadership and one-to-one mentoring remain meaningful experience.
12 interests to explore
Cornwall offers space to notice the world beyond a screen. My appreciation for farming and rural life was shaped by helping on a cattle and sheep farm: machinery, animals and work with visible results.
Some interests are part of the week. Others appear occasionally or belong to earlier chapters. They all leave something behind.
