I am a very enthusiastic 'green' and am involved in a range of projects and community groups which are directly connected with sustainability. These include YorkLETS, York Rotters, York Green Party, The Community Composting Network, York in Transition, St Nicholas Fields , York Green Festival and others. . . . . . . . . . I am happily married with two children, and am unconventional and a free thinker, with a very tolerant wife! . . . . . . . . . I work as an entertainer, 'Professor Fiddlesticks' teaching circus skills and making people happy, since 1992. see wwww.professorfiddlesticks.co.uk . . . . . . . . A few years ago, I wrote a blog and column for Community Care, see www.communitycare.co.uk/blogs/green-living/ and am currently working on a book, but this is coming on really slowly. . . . . . . In early 2010 I was invited by the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce to apply for Fellowship. So I can now put the letters FRSA after my name if I want to come across as important! . . . . . .
