Vivien Zepf: New York, United States; The premise for my blog is quite simple. This is where I'll share what I'm thinking about and what I've learned. There will lots of brain dumps about my interests: art, nature, books, science, food, life. But I'll also include what I've discovered along the way, sometimes with deliberate research, sometimes serendipitously. Always in good fun and, on wilder occasions, with a sense of adventure. This blog encapsulates the meanderings of a curious 50+ year old mind -- though my eldest thinks that's the title of a cheesy paperback novel.
