Weather
I love Rain above every other type of Weather; closely followed by Snow. Best of all is crashing thunderstorms, gale force winds, driving rain and a walk along the sea-front. Bliss.
Witchcraft
I have been practising Witchcraft for over 20 years and still have lots to learn! The Craft is a life-long passion. I read Tarot Cards but still use crib cards as I want to still be able to read for myself. I also use a Crystal Ball, Pendulum and Scrying Mirror. I am lucky enough to have a spare room that I am allowed to dedicate to my altar and all my Paraphernalia. I love candles and have a large selection to choose from. I am fascinated by anything to do with Egypt and use this in my work. I have completed a handwritten Book of Shadows and I am now transferring it to computer. Well, that's it for now but may add more in the future.

I'd like to meet:
A List of People Dead or Alive that I would like to have spent time with. This will keep growing as I think of new people.
Would also like to meet Doreen Tovey; various other historical figures to ask them a number of questions on why they did certain things and John and I's ancestors as it would make it a lot easier to do the family tree that I am working on if I could ask some questions. There are a lot of skeletons rattling around and I want Answers! The pictures above should be interesting from a trivia point of view; some of the pictures are a double whammy, the character and the actor/actress and some you have to figure out who the historical figure is!
Movies:
I LOVE this movie; it is my ideal late night, lights off and a bag of salty buttered popcorn treat.

Television:
I have to admit, I have recently become addicted to....
Weird, I Know, but strangely absorbing....
Classical Art
I have just found this and absolutely love it!
Books:
Most of all I love Terry Pratchett but tend to have a very varied taste in books from reference to Historical Romance to 'Bodice-Rippers' to Horror. I also have a very large collection of Witchcraft and Mystical books. My other-half jokes that we are the second library in our town! I have got over 5000 books but most are in storage in our loft until he builds my library in our dining room.
Pets
We have 3 Cats, 2 Dogs, A Pove (Pigeon Cross Dove) and a Terrapin called Chadwick. Boz was a shared kitten between our lodger and us who we rescued from the top of our street and when she moved out she couldn't take him; Squeek was found in the University of Essex carpark where my mother works and so we adopted her and Frazzel was found under a portakabin at John's work, he was worried she would be run over by a truck and brought her home. Boz is my baby and the girls prefer John. We only have 2 dogs now; Emo who is my dog bought for me by John when we first moved in together who is now 17 and he is the Dad. Zeus is his son who is 16 and John's dog. We also had Scruffy who was John's dog before I moved in and she was the Mum, Indi was was the daughter and also John's dog and Mysty who we sold to friends for their disabled daughter was the 2nd daughter. I also have Piglet, who was hand raised from an egg, we unfortunately lost the rest of the clutch. He is completely tame and lives in our front room as he doesn't like the rest of the house! He only goes in his large parrot cage at night as I don't trust the cats to not figure out how to open the front room door! Chadwick the terrapin was also a rescue from someone who had got bored of him and was going to flush him! He was the size of a 50p piece when we got him and he is now 10 inches long. We seem to be the local rescue centre but usually find homes elsewhere as we don't have the room and it isn't fair on those we already have.

Cars
I love watching NASCAR racing; Busch & Nextel series. Unfortunately, living in England means watching it at 3:00am! It is absolutely worth it though.
Even though I don't hold a driver's license (doesn't mean I can't drive, just not on public roads!), I absolutely love cars. The sound of the engine is a key stage in selection and I have a particular passion for older cars. Blame my Dad! I do have some particular favorites and, money no object, I would have a hanger full of cars to choose from. There would have to be a mechanics area as I also love tinkering on the engines, which came as a shock to John when he realised I knew as much as he did about cars and he was trained as a mechanic. I do like the new Shelby but the older one is better as is the case for most of the cars on my list. Here is a selection of some that would make it into a special parking spot. There are some odd ones mixed in but hey....it's my list!
Family Stuff
Just a little tribute to my fiancé; Little John has been his nickname for years (from before I knew him) because he was always the shortest John in the group!
Just adding a nod to my brother who is on my friends list as 'The Plinth'. I sent him this on a comment and it took him nanoseconds to get it up as his display picture. He has loved Animal since he was a kid, I like Beaker, Ralph & Gonzo.
If you want to add a friend request, please take note of the following. I am not collecting for numbers but more for interesting people whose pages I love. If I end up with a lot of people as friends, I will count myself lucky. Most of my 'Friends' at the moment are bands that I like so I am still being selective about actual friends. The current count is roughly 1/4 of total friends that I send messages to. Don't get me wrong; if you send a request, I will probably approve you if you have the same interests. I am a dreadful penpal but keep in contact with picture comments. They reflect how I am feeling at the time. I aim to send out a message every week but definitely once a fortnight if I am very busy! Also, when I add you, could you send me a quick 'Hi' on my comments? This is not to solicit more comments but so that when I send out comments, I can do it all from my comments page. It only has to be a one-off comment. I do not delete people unless I feel that there was/is no point in their being my friend. I would not do it lightly but I have had some requests that I have approved and then wondered why that person wanted to be my friend. Sorry but it takes time to send out messages and if they are not appreciated, I stop.
Heroes:
This is the first person I have ever seen who deserves the title 'Hero'.
Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, the daughter of David Suzuki, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.
