About this Member

I have just noticed I have been awarded a crown for one of my reviews! A big thank you! I'm now in the Falkland Islands for a while, and the internet here is going to be rather limited for me when I'm out doing fieldwork for 10-20 days at a time! I'll do what I can when I can and be back soon.

*****************

Hi, I've only started this reviewing lark this summer. I work in Ecology and Conservation, mostly wardening type positions. This work is mostly seasonal so I end up somewhere for 6 months over the summer (currently Shetland) and then head off elsewhere for the winter. This gets me around some amazing places and allows me to indulge my interest in photography with some amazing wildlife.

Most of my reviews are a bit of a random collection of things that I come across, I'm not interested in Make-up or DVD's though and generally only read reviews about something that will interest me. So, please don't get offended if I don't read your reviews about number 7 lip plumping wrinkle reducing foundation poly filler!

I've heard a lot about 'revenge rating' on here, and quite frankly I don't have the time! If your review is useful then great, if it's not then accept it! I'll usually put in a comment as to why I don't think it's useful so don't take offence, I'd like to hear how I can improve my reviews too please.
