I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a 28 year old gal living in London. I've been here for 9 and a half years, with a brief stint back in Wales and Itlay. I'm an actress and EFL teacher and have had some success with film and I'm off to Cannes this year, fingers crossed.....have big hopes for the future!I get along with most people. I'm friendly and it's nice to be nice but I don't suffer fools gladly and can be quite impatient. Having said that, where it matters I'm a damn good listner and will always provide a shoulder to cry on. I have been know to get the odd dippy/senior moment and when i get an idea into my head it's difficult to shake it...... but when I'm working I'm extremely professional and on the ball.I'm very close to my family and am lucky to have fablamous friends who I adore. Ummm....I also love animals but am terrified of spiders, Iove a drink and a natter and my desert island product would be blistex. I love food and always seem to end up talking about it but if I had to live off one food only it would be a nice lemon tart (Rick Stien recipe but reduce the lemon juice by 2oz.Did you know my Hawk character Ruth has her own my space page? hawkruth

My Interests

Food. Friends and family - huge part of my life, The Times Saturday Crossword, Sunday papers and coffee (GOOD coffee), reading, film, Hollywood Trivia 30's-70's, cats - actually all animals (am working on spiders...), anything Italian, cooking - love reading cookery books and menus), rugby, the gym, talking, drinking....Oh and toffee popcorn. The cheap stuff.

I'd like to meet:
