自我介绍

I co-own and host this flat with my good friend Patsy and wife Ann. JOHN'S PROFILE: I work as a joiner and audio visual installer as my day job and at nights play guitar or bass in different bands, playing Scottish Country Dance music and also blues and R&B. I am a keen nano beer brewer and hobby beekeeper with 12-15 colonies at a small apiary near Borthwick Castle, about 12 miles south of Edinburgh. I love the outdoors enjoying hillwalking, endurance running, road cycling and mountain biking. I have recently got into fixed wheel cycling. I love living in Edinburgh - it's a fantastic city, with so much going on, and it's also really easy to get out and into the beautiful surrounding countryside. PATSY'S PROFILE: I have enjoyed life as a professional musician, singing and playing my clarsach (Scottish harp) taking Scottish and Gaelic music around the world. I also love homecrafts and spent many a happy hour working on The Great Tapestry of Scotland (panel 135 - The First Edinburgh Festival 1947) organised by Ann - she kept me in stitches! Since becoming a mum I have been more home based imparting my love of music to others, especially children, and organising music events in castles. ANN'S PROFILE: Hi, I work as a teacher in an Edinburgh secondary school supporting pupils with additional needs. I love my job but try to also fit into my life my other passions. Music: I play the cello in an orchestra and play the piano badly to myself. Art: I draw, paint, knit and make quilts Outdoors: I run a programme that organises camping and hiking expeditions all over Scotland for teenagers and have a passion for the hills. I used to work as a climbing and outdoor instructor. We have two grown up boys.
