Donkey

My name is Dani, some of you may have previously known me as Donna, or Donna-Marie but that name no longer exists. I've had it changed legally woohoo!
I work as a Teaching Assistant 5 mornings a week at Hempstead Junior School, mostly with year 3's. I also work through lunchtime running a socialising club for some of the children (and yes that's paid work not volunteering anymore!)
I am a lesbian, and not only am I in a relationship with a wonderful woman called Nic; I'm completely in love with her. She means the entire world to me and I hope we'll be together for the rest of our lives!
Supposedly I live at home with my mum, and we also share a house with my grandparents. (I spend most of my time at Nicx though!) Although we argue a lot, in reality, my mum and I have a fantastic relationship and tell each other almost everything.
A few of my unexpected interests and hobbies:
Architecture - Brighton Train Station is one of my fave places because of this! I love looking at structures and architectural desing, almost as much as I like building and designing.
Ancient History - the Greeks and Egyptians are something I'd love to learn more about, but I don;t know where this fascination comes from.
Classical Music - Piano music mostly.. Ludovico Einaudi is amazing... I also like some Opera music, but I think I would hate to see it live... Jazz is another music passion!
Romantic Novels - Marian Keyes is my favourite author. When I start one of her books, I dont put it down til it's finished. I am a complete soppy romantic.
Shakespeare - I adore Shakespeare! Anyone who went to RMGS and had Mrs Hepburn will not understand this at all... but I love her for finding my love of Shakespeare.
Art - Specifically Salvador Dali... again... thanks to Mrs Hepburn... Landscape with Butterflies is my favourite piece. Turner is another of my favourite artists.
Extreme Sports - Surfing and Skateboarding fascinate me... Unfortunately I've never really been given to chance to learn either, but maybe one day! If not, I'll just continue to watch in awe!
Tennis - Although I don't know who's who since the day of lovely Jen Capriati, I still watch it occasionally and would really love to get back into playing!
Trains - Please dont ask me why because I don't really know, but I LOVE trains! I have a dream to spend Valentines day on board the Orient Express... Only £250 each, anyone offering?!
