Did U Know That...

~ I'm currently looking forward to ~ a week's skiing in the French/Italian Alps; visiting my nephew Sammy; finding the perfect job (do they exist?!); perfecting my dance moves(!); discovering if dying my hair red was wise...?! ~ My dream holiday would be to go to the Himalayas (inspired by Michael Palin... my travelling hero!) and I'm hoping to go trekking later this year. ~ I hate slugs...but they love my garden. ~ My view of the world is coloured by my childhood: living in one of the most remote rainforest valleys in Papua, Indonesia...an unforgetable experience. ~ Spring is my favourite time of year, as the sun starts shining, the evenings get lighter and life seems a whole heap better. ~ Shopping heaven is Accesorise & French Connection. ~ You can't beat a bottle of quality red wine shared with friends. ~ When I was 8 I wanted to be an astronaut and kept tadpoles which I rescued from a rice paddy field. I'd like the challenge of learning sign language; speaking fluent French; visiting Nepal and mastering a black run...whilst I'm still 30-something! ~ Inspired Writing: Proverbs 3 vs 5&6

My Interests

Yann Arthus-Bertrand's "Earth From The Air"

An awesome world! http://www.earthfromtheair.com

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.
Kenyan Proverb
Without urgent action, climate change will devastate life on earth. Hundreds of millions of people, particularly the worlds poorest and most vulnerable, will be put at severe risk of drought, floods, starvation, and disease. By the middle of the century up to one third of land-based species could face extinction. Check out the Facts & Make a Difference!
