Jayne Herbert, Penzance, Cornwall
I am a freelance web designer living on the Penwith Moors above Penzance. I moved down from London back in 1997, over ten years ago - it seems like only yesterday.
It's a stunningly beautiful place to live. When we first came here I was concerned that it might too remote and quiet for me here and there wouldn't be enough to keep me busy. I couldn't have been more wrong - I've never been busier.
Last year I was made redundant from my position as Web Manager of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Currently I am now a freelance web designer and do a little Internet research work. I also passed my iMedia course at Camborne College, for Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash, which was great fun to do.
One of my hobbies is trying to identify moths. I run a light trap all year round, a couple of times a week. The light attracts the the moths without hurting them and I try to identify as many as possible before I let them go. I have been doing it for a few years now but am still learning and am far from being an expert but hopefully improving all the time.
I spend quite a lot of time walking with my handsome greyhound Blue, and doing lots of arty and crafty things. Last year I passed my NCFE Level 1 Sugarcraft Certificate and have sold some of my crafts at local craft fairs.
I also enjoy photography, especially with the advent of digital. Although 90% of my photographs are of Blue, moths and the local area, I do sometimes travel further field. I just love taking photographs of sunrises and sunsets, and it's such a great place to be able to do it.
