On 6th August 1945 the first atomic bomb was dropped by a United States aircraft on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. On the same day in 1961 russian cosmonaut Major Gherman Titov astonished the world by becoming the first person to spend the whole day in orbit over the earth. And on 6th August 1981 in the city of Liverpool, Heather Paterson emerged kicking and screaming into the world.
Heather dislikes ignorance, war, worrying about money, sewing machines and the sound of ice being cut / crushed / scraped.
She likes summer rain, bar room philosophy, people watching, women and faeries.
She doesn't see the world the same way as other people, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Heather was never one of the cool kids, because she never wanted to be"
A commited activist, Heather thinks almost as much as she smokes. At the age of 12 when she became vegetarian, her mother thought it was a phase; She is now vegan.
Heather is a proud lefty with sympathies with the anarchist / socialist / marxist / libertarian schools of thought. Spiritually she has leanings towards buddhist / pagan / humanist philosophies. However she does not pay her subscriptions or allow herself to be confined by defining to any of the above groups.
