When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew...

About Me


Impossible to define...you just go ahead and try me...
A Scottish chica living in England, drinking French wine, watching a Japanese TV, wearing Spanish jewellery and listening to American tunes...funny, funny uh-huh-hur...
Cut my baby teeth on the wilder side of life before meeting my other half. Currently living in happily-ever-after land with my Husband, two rats, no kids, four guitars and a violin named "Poe". Life is as it should be.
A huge part of me lives for my Husband, whom I adore. The other part lives for peace, spirituality, music and beauty, for without any of these things the world would be pointless.
Quotable Quotes
"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth" - Mark Twain
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” - Audrey Hepburn
"Well-behaved women rarely make history" - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Loves
My husband, who is my sunshine, utterly gorgeous inside and out and makes the best cup of tea I have ever had * Lazy sunday mornings * My family & friends who are all solid gold stars * Trust * Hope * Faith * Sincerity * Honesty * Good old fashioned values * A kiss from my little nephew * When I completely balls things up - shows that I still have more to learn
Likes
* Sophie Solomon * Shabby Chic * Fairy Lights * Stand up comedy * Billy Connolly * Lee Evans * Bill Bailey * Dylan Moran * Eddie Izzard * Laughter * Music * Violin * Art * Books, books, books * Museums * Musicals * Old films * Butterflies * Strange little shops * Strange little people * Bookshops * Red, red wine * Victoria Frances * Anne Rice * Anna Sui * Audrey Hepburn * Marilyn Monroe * Salvador Dali * Van Gogh * Luis Royo * Corsets * Rats * Cats * Zooey Deschanel * Genuine folks * Saints & sinners alike * Red lipstick & black eyeliner * Rainy days * Tattoos and other body art * The promise of good things to come
Dislikes
Fakes and people who change themselves daily to be on the 'scene' * Obsession with money, fame and the tackier things in life * Ignorance * The lack of caring in what they claim is a 'just' world * Backstabbers * Bullshitters and liars * Little stripper wannabes * Cold tea * Bullying, racism and hatred of any kind
Lyrics

My Interests


"Women gather together to wear silly hats, eat dainty food, and forget how unresponsive their husbands are. Men gather to talk sports, eat heavy food, and forget how demanding their wives are. Only where children gather is there any real chance of fun."

Mignon McLaughlin

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.

H.A. Overstreet

Movies:


"He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's."

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Television:

TV is so boring, dahlings...

Books:


"A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."

Edward P. Morgan

Heroes:

My husband and my beastie...anyone who has made a real contribution to the world...
