Alison Todd - Sean Beehan
Alison's background is many and varied. Her love of soil and plants is probably only eclipsed by her strange fascination with Japanese paper. Over the past 25 years she has manged to combine her work committments with being a student and instructor of karate. She currently holds the rank of 4th dan and is still always amazed that people truly believe she would rather chop wood with her bare hands than use an axe. She has published in peer review journals which she estimates has a readership of tens and reviewed books with a similarly wide readership.
