I really like to make things, i love to paint and draw sew and be creative. I use some of my creative outburst to contribute to my friends lovely magazine swings and roundabouts. I collect (hoard) old vintage dresses and love charity shop rummaging for old things and am especailly obsessed with unusual buttons. Ive done a fair bit of travelling, lots around America, Esp California and a bit round Australia and New Zealand and would like to do lots more. I love childrens book illustrations especially those of Eric Carle. Im currently re discovering playing my guitar, i used to be pretty good but havent played it for years. I love going for walks in the park, exciting adventures to the seaside. Drinking too many cups of tea, reading massive books about Architecture and Art and Illustration,recieving postcards, surprises, Matey bubble baths and cooking and baking .Im usually reading about three books at a time and can often appear a bit vacant and quiet, this is normally because im off in my own little world in my head.

I tend to watch, enjoy and forget films pretty instantly. Having said that the ones that stick in my head do so for a reason. If i cant remember a film it s usually because it didnt hold my attention (and that makes it bad in my opinion). Ive watched (and remembered)the star wars trilogy more times than any other films so i guess they must be in my favourites list along with tons of kids films like wizard of oz,3 oclock high, neverending story etc.
Spaced, Peep show,Curb, Nathan Barley, Partridge, Antiques Roadshow, The Day Today, Reeves and Mortimer, Spongebob Squarepants, Lost, Grand Designs, anything to do with design or architecture.
