2009 is my second year of growing veg but the first year really going for it. I have a back garden with a greenhouse, a couple of 5×6ft raised beds and a load of containers and pots.

I live in Baldock, N Herts, UK, and work in London, where I’m a charity CEO and a psychotherapist. I’m married and have a daughter, Georgie, who is coming up to 2yrs old. (She’s a clear and present danger to all our plantings!)

I’m really enjoying the garden, which is weird because in past lives I’ve been into much more high adrenaline activities! Ach, having a kid changes things, eh?!

In past lives I’ve been an international lobbyist, the CEO of a Scottish charity, a cafe manager in Jerusalem, a tech evangelist (launched the first major brands online shops in Europe), and a marketer and strategist (living in Ohio for 8 years). Hobbies have included practical pistol shooting (in the US), cheese making, race car driving (in the US), scuba diving, cooking, and watch collecting/horology. I love learning – the more complex the subject matter the better! At the time of writing, I’m getting quite interested in wine and mead making, so that will probably be next!
