Interestin' facts;
Jonathan lives on a boat, was a zoo-keeper at one time & also met the Dalai Lama unexpectedly.
Emma ran away to join the circus for a few years (no, really).
Simon's house is like a lab, he is working on perpetual motion & alchemy among other things. Dave is officially described as a 'Ranger, author, druid & Rock God'. Hayley ran a butterfly hospital as a child, and brought many of the critters "back to life".   L-R Em, Simon, Jonathan, Dave.  |  |
