About Me

Hi - I was born in Central Scotland although lived most of my life in the Southern Hemisphere between Australia & South Africa. I've also lived on the Isle of Man and am now based back in Scotland - hence the rather strange (but I'm told, very pleasing) accent...As a youngster I used to be asked to tell my sisters stories at night before we went to sleep. As I've always enjoyed this, I've put together a collection of audio stories about the Ochil Dream Dragons (ODD Squad for short!) Look out for them on here and ebay etc at the end of October - just in time for Christmas. They will be cheap, I promise!

My Interests

Wine, men and song!

I'd like to meet:

Someone that can hold my interest beyond 'hello'...

Music:

Anything really that either entertains or makes you want to dance.

Movies:

Something that I come away from feeling inspired.

Television:

I'm sure there is an on/off switch on it somewhere.

Books:

Just about everything - I even read the labels off the shampoo bottles in the bath!
