CMKC: How did you hear about Camphill?
AT: My brother Norman has been volunteering at Camphill for many years and I got to know Camphill through my brother.

CMKC:  What do you like about Camphill?
AT: I made new friends at my house, with residents and staff already. There are many friendly people at Camphill, and I like the workshops here too. I have tried tools workshop, gardens, bakery, newsletter, and my favourite workshop is arts and craft and the Sunday art class, as I love painting.

CMKC: What is your favourite food and drink?

CMKC: What’s your favourite TV programme?
AT: Escape to the Country, Emmerdale, Coronation Street, East Enders and Homes Under the Hammer.

CMKC: What’s your favourite animal?
AT: Horses, as my granddad used to have a farm and he kept horses along with other animals like donkeys, alpacas, chicken, goats etc. I like cats and dogs too.

CMKC: What animal would you like to be and why?
AT: Definitely a horse!

CMKC: What are your hobbies?
AT: I love classical music, taiji and yoga.

AT: Woodbridge, Suffolk.

CMKC: What did you do before Camphill?
AT: I worked in a food workshop in a place near Ipswich.

CMKC: Do you like football?
