About Me

I'm a 24 year old music-loving veggie English teacher living in Lancaster who'd like to think she's more interesting than that makes her sound! I came here from Oldham (once named 'Town of Hate' by The Daily Mail) to go to uni and just stuck around. I currently live with my husband Ben, three cats (Dylan, Pippa & Tallulah) and a piece of Morrissey's shirt (I'm not ashamed!)
I recently got a melodica and can play 3 things on it. It's a start!
You can see photos of the recent wedding at www.lawsonphotography.co.uk !

Photos of various other things can be found at this site: myphotoalbum !
