User:Herbaltablet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I'm Oliver, aka Herbaltablet. Thanks for stopping by. I'm originally from Nuneaton in Warwickshire in the UK, but since 1998 have lived in a variety of places for my studies (Oxford, Durham, Tours, Perugia, Bath, Strasbourg). After a spell in Lyon in east central France, home is currently Paris, where I've been since September 2011.
