Introduction	Hello, I'm Hayfella. I live in the gorgeous Lake District and have been running since 1980. Now retired, I am the curator of a national collection of soft-shield ferns in a gardens near Windermere. I am also a 'dogsbody' who helps with the training of the Lake District Mountain Rescue Search Dogs.
Interests	Fell running, hillwalking, drawing & painting, writing 'poetry' (or doggerel, depending on your viewpoint), training mountain rescue search dogs, ferns, playing guitar
Favorite movies	Local Hero, Juno, Casablanca, Some Like It Hot.
Favorite music	Kate Rusby, Laura Marling, Richard Thompson, British Sea Power, Nic Jones, Billy Bragg, Gillian Welch, Martin Simpson to name just a few. Basically I've got a sort of lyric-driven folky-vibe thing going on.
Favorite books	Too many to say. On my desert island I'd have a boxed set of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series and a biochemistry textbook!
