Seeing new places, vampires, ghosts, mythical creatures, tattoos, reading, music, films, eating chocolate (its a bugger being diabetic), drinking, being with my mates, caves, historic places, chocolate, castles and country houses, churches, ruins, graveyards, particularly Key Hill Cemetery in Birmingham's Jewellery quarter. Being the organiser of GBR (Goth Biddies Rule). I am Commander in Chief of this organisation and we are dedicated to growing old disgracefully, bitching, shopping, partying, drinking, shouting "Arse" and "Up Your Biddy" in public places, clearing beer gardens of chavs and generally scaring small children. It is a worthwhile organisation for the discerning and mature Goth Biddy. The sea, cornwall (my spiritual home and favourite place in the whole world), chocolate, the occult, art, museums, forests, wild places, rain, storms, snow, autumn, chocolate, making soup, horses, dogs, bats, hedgehogs and Tasmanian Devils. Collecting copies of Dracula (book form), talking to my daughter about the wonder that is Mr J Depp, also getting drunk and talking b******s with my friend Stella (and anyone else who will join in and, of course, the lovely GBR biddies) oh! and did I mention chocolate?
