Profile Information
- Tell us a bit about yourself. (You don't have to share anything you don't want to, but please write something here, so we know you're not a spam robot.)
- Among other things I'm a freelance copywriter, translator, photographer and would-be basketmaker. I lived in western Brittany until Aug this year when I moved to the south-west in search of a simpler way of living – very early days, too early to say anything about!
- What drew you to the Dark Mountain Project?
- My discovery of the Transition movement earlier this year led to a subscription to Resurgence magazine, in the most recent issue of which is an article on Dark Mountain. I read it, logged on to the website, realised DM fits with the path I'm on so here I am...

What a delight to be in contact so immediately Sarah, though here, this sw edge, of europe, is chilly and brooding, as ever - oh for brown ground, and sun!
My birth certificate is both : angela, noelle, though now, the names serve to delineate different parts which are played out from the story of my path . . . angela is the one one would meet with, face to face, digging in the garden, cleaning, cooking, working with craft materials, seeing to the 3 men, the earth lover, the softie; noelle is the diva that has to get behind the mic. Other personae emerge to cover 'bizness mode' and the writing . . ..
Looking forward to hearing more about you.

Ahhh, I might be getting the hang of this... You have two names, I have only the one, Sarah. Which I like, and all the more so because it's bilingual (slightly different pronunciation true, I answer easily to both or either!). For some reason that I've never investigated my oldest client calls me Soz - coz of my scrawled signature - and that's fine too.
More about me. I moved here because work dried up end 2008 and after much soul searching I decided to try and downsize. Didn't work in sense that life is no cheaper here than Brittany and house is same size and only marginally cheaper! Earning copywriter/editing work has since started flowing again and although I was ready to leave it behind I'm now going with it and enjoying the far-flung contacts it's creating. Just means things I care more about have taken a back seat for a few months (no more!).
I live in a well-visited village on the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostella in an area that's known as the French Tuscany, rollingly beautiful and with an energy that's palpable. A couple of decades ago this was a region being fast depopulated but it's been colonised since by people from all over the place, France, Britain, Netherlands, US..., a lot doing creative or healing work. I'm still finding my feet and going slowly but it feels good. My house at any rate I love - just the right size, in the village I singled out from the beginning, light, large terrace, garden ('potager' will be happening next year, this one is preparation - lots of mulch, the soil is glue disguised as clay). As I settle in (nearly 4 mths now), I'm beginning to pick up threads of photography, basketry and writing.
Hope that gives you a better idea of me and that we continue the conversation - though I've a friend arriving tomorrow so will be little online for the next few days.
Big thoughts from a wild and windy Gers!
Sarah
