I'm just a down to earth, friendly and genuine London girl.I love listening to music - soul, modern soul, rare groove, jazz fusion, jazz funk, jazz (latin and bossa) disco, soulful house/garage, lovers rock, easy listening.I adore animals - both domestic pets and wild animals. I would love to be hands-on with primates (especially baby chimps, orangutans, gorillas, squirrel monkeys.I enjoy watching sport:-football - I support Charlton Athletic, my dad first taking me to see them play as a 10 year old (I think he just wanted some company that day - bet he didn't realise they would remain such a big part of my life)cricket - my favourite teams being Surrey CCC and Kent CCC. It was great watching England regain the Ashes in 2005, and not so great watching them capitulate to a whitewash defeat 2006/07.rugby league - I follow London Broncos (don't like their new name of Harlequins).
