About Me
- naturewitch
- I'm 40 something, working towards my naturopathy qualification, while juggling work and home life (partner, two step children (humans) and two fur children (cats)). Passionate about garden and self-sufficiency, sustainable living and health and well-being. Spare time - I like to cook, quilt, knit, watch movies.
