I’m passionate about the subject of Britain, having spent years studying the national culture, identity and values of the country. I was originally inspired by my experience of returning home to London where I now enjoy living, after years spent as an expat. This led to my writing the book, Being British: Our Once & Future Selves, a fresh view on identity and culture. I’m a Fellow of the RSA and was Director of a UK educational charity for over two decades. Now I’m concentrating on writing with a special interest in nature and new ways of thinking about nature.
