I met Maryann through Auslets, a 'local energy trade scheme' where you post your wants and your offerings and network with others and create your own currency.
I spend time teaching Maryann how to use her digital camera and how to blog, she makes me a dress which I commission for my young friend Siobhan. Everyone has skills and talents which are worth something. In these days of financial insecurity it is good to be focused on finding a way to work at what you are good at, collaborating with like-minded individuals and meet a lot of nice people along the way!
Maryann loves to make jewellery and children's clothes. She lives in Kiama Downs and has travelled to Lake Illawarra and Windang to work on her photography with me. Recently I travelled down to Kiama Downs to her home and enjoyed her view of Cathedral Rocks, sharing a wonderful lunch with Maryann and her mum Frances. The first of many visits, I am sure.
