Do you love Sarah Raven's gardens, independent bookstores, discovering new fragrances, tabby cats, and homemade jam? Come sit by me! I'd love to have an international penpal to share insights about the books we are reading (I'm still grieving Hilary Mantel's death), our gardens, seed saving, ideas and work on greening the planet big and small. My hobbies include collecting old classic books, gardening, exploring the architecture of cities, history, botany and birding.
