New Warden

Our new warden, David Jenkins, has arrived at Othona this week. It's a real pleasure to meet him and we wish him well for the future here. Here is a short piece of bio from hi:

I will leave my home in the Netherlands where I have lived for the last 13 years to come and join you in Othona. During my time in the Netherlands I have worked as a Carpenter and Teacher of Art and Design. Prior to moving to Holland I worked as Teacher for many years in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk and greatly enjoyed inspiring and working with young people. I have 3 beautiful children of my own who are now 18, 20 and 22 and ever more independent. It feels very much like my time to follow a path which feels more in tune with who I am as I turn 55. 

I look forward to being of service to all who come to Othona and those of you who are part of the wonderful community that I have been fortunate enough to find and have the opportunity to be a part of.

Please take time to welcome him at the start of his time here.
