Writing just won't leave me alone. I've always played with words, working out how I would describe a color, a situation, a person, some clouds; how I could display an emotion. The words keep sorting themselves out in my head. There are so may issues which I want to say something about and writing them down helps me to find out what I really think.

I've had short stories published as well as articles.

I have lived in a number of different parts of the world and this has helped me to understand how people solve the same problems of living with the resources they have available. People intrigue me as to why they do what they do.

Now I live in the south of France, in the Languedoc region. As a result I am learning French. This has opened up a whole new dimension of language, politics, culture, history, geology and plants. For someone very curious this is marvelous.

I'm fascinated with the history of this region and amazed by its beauty.

The consideration of this debate is the function of clothes. Clothes protect us from heat and cold, In our society they are also used for modesty. Apart from these thoughts, clothes are for fun and to flatter. Clothes are both practical and a way of saying something about us.
