About Me

I'm from Ashford in Kent, which is quite near the sea. Nice in the summer (well, as nice as beaches here can be) - windy and miserable in the winter. I try to get away as often as I can - invite me to stay if you live somewhere fun!
I'm a student, currently in my second year of univeristy training to be a primary school teacher. I like small people and want to teach them interesting facts about the world. Did you know Polar Bears were left handed?
I love indie/britpop music - the mid 90s will never be far from my heart. Other things that make me happy are: festivals, shoes, stripy socks, watching films in bed, taking photos, tropical flavoured booze, ice cubes, writing letters, cherries, bright coloured tights, pretty eyeshadow, sleeping on trains, mojitos, Spaced, fairylights, holding hands, sherbet, discovering new bands, baking, big squashy sofas, neck scarves, vintage telephones, bruises that you don't remember getting, bookshops, bubble baths, London, unexpected text messages, plastic jewellery, fridge letters, candlelight, dancing, nights in with a duvet, Ross Noble, elderflower fizzy, kisses, cocktail umbrellas, dingy pubs, jaffa cakes, Audrey Hepburn and beady necklaces that I can twiddle when bored.

This week is going to be a little bit silly in terms of how much I need to cram in - even more so than last week, which was really quite busy.  Not that busy is bad, I've had a rather splendid fe...
