Beginning with a teaching career in Canadian academia (English) followed by global travels, I lived for several years in the ecological-spiritual Findhorn Foundation Community in NE Scotland. After further working stints in the Canadian university system, I settled with my second husband Richard Elen in the wider Glastonbury Community, working closely with Kathy Jones and others to found and develop various Avalonian institutions. Moving to the USA, we ran a communications consultancy--first, near Nashville, Tennessee, and then Los Angeles area, returning to the UK in the Cambridge UK area in 2003. For many years I worked in the field of conservation with The WILD Foundation and the Cheetah Conservation Fund. I have have published two books of poetry. I am an ardent daughter, mother, sister and Grandmother and a liberated wife. For details please visit: http://www.brideswell.com
I often give thanks (to various levels) for the gift of being born in Canada (but I live nr Cambridge UK). I've not yet been to Serbia or adjacent countries...I hope to, eventually, if I can get the British husband, as my NAVY Dad used to say, 'to come alongside'...I have great admiration for 'chaps; like yourself, who do back to 'home ground'..
Wonderful? I never thought about my life in that way. You see, during Yugoslav wars and Milosevic's reign in Serbia it was requested from me to "attend an informational conversation" - (which is an euphemism for brutal police interrogation) for seventeen times. I've lost my job few times...
It's not easy to live in Serbia. It's not now, nor it is going to be in a next fifty years.
