Welcome.
Chotto Nanna is the title I have settled on after much thought and tweaking.
'Chotto' is my favourite Japanese word - it means, "a little bit". It also softens expressions, useful in a country where people are polite and generally not too direct in their communications with each other. I love a lot about Japan -I lived there for 4 years- and continue to be inspired by their design and principle of "just enough". I am also fairly moderate in my approach to most things - a little bit of a hippie, a little bit of a travel freak.
'Nanna' refers to my interest in Nanna Technology - not "7" in Japanese, although I do love double meanings. Pass me a knee rug and help me preserve some apricots while we talk about finding simple but ingenious solutions to everyday problems - not at a shop, but within the home. Why buy something when you have the solution at home? Save the money for …. an awesome trip somewhere?!? Yes, it is a contraction to be acutely aware of resources at home and then to get on a plane. But, you know, chotto get over it!!
Moderation, mindfulness and an open mind are what you will find here.
I'll put on the kettle, pop your slippers on and relax.
Welcome.
