I am happy talk about any interesting subject that I come across. But I should probably confine myself to those topics in which I have some expertise.
These include:
Books - history, manufacture, binding, restoring, reviews and writing
Gardens - suitable plants, container gardening, compost, rain gardens, plant identification.
​
Environment - causes and effects of climate change, solutions to environmental problems, restoring water cycles, restoring biodiversity, solar, permaculture.
​
Fiber arts - paper, knitting and other yarn arts. Embroidery.
​
Languages - how to learn a foreign language, alphabets.
​
Travel - how to pack, how to plan a trip. A photo guide to: South Africa, Iran, Cuba, Costa Rica, Madagascar, Guadeloupe, northwest China, India, Istanbul, the Holy Land and others.
​
Glass - more or less anything you want to know.
​
Games - nothing digital. Cards (bridge, Canasta, Hearts) Man Jong, board games -make and play.
