About Me

Lovely Bristol is my home. But I have had many homes. I think home can be many things, not just a place, but people, routines, music, activity, attitudes. You carry a lot of home with you, so really, anywhere could be home.

My Interests

Crochet, ceramics, European and independent film, books about the future and people's lives, charity shops, journalism...

I'd like to meet:

People who like to do creative things in all media. Including synapses. The things I like to make and do are: ceramics (also known as pottery), crochet (sometimes called knitting, but that's just not right!), paper crafty stuff like Danish hearts and stars, jewellery with beads and buttons.French, German, Czech, Arabic, any language speakers. I love languages. Please teach me a little bit of yours!
