Finding peace in the great outdoors, I'm inspired by the beauty of nature...Forests....To lie under trees and look up... Watching the patterns of light through the leaves.... Himaylayan mountains, climbing big hills and looking down .... kind of puts things into prespective...Wakeing up next to lakes and going for a morning Swim, messing around on boats....Snorkling on reefs, sleeping under stars... Bonfires and the smell of wood smoke, wakeing up with twigs in your hair and not caring...Lazy days with a good book...Day dreaming...Having time to watch the clouds float by and raindrops roll down windows... Studying the small things in detail...Travel...New cultures...New outlooks... Long soaks in the bath and foot massages, hiding under the duvet, Green and Black chocolate, Thai green currys or any spicy food for that matter...Art in any form.... Butterflys and Spiders...The colour Green....Hermit Crabs and Cats....Getting to know people's idiosyncrasies.... discovering the stories behind peoples scars....Junk shops and jumble sales....
Sillyness and skipping....Festivals and dancing.... tequila and funghi, looseing myself in music, Love and Laughter....Forgetting myself for a while...Friends, fun and freedom. Smiles, I like smiles they take you a long way.
Genuine, openminded, positive, warm folkies....especially creative people in whatever medium or area that may be.. those that can give me new experiences and new knowledge.....even better if you have all the said qualitys and look like Gael Garcia Bernal!!

"Right. We're consumers. We're by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty -- these things don't concern me. What concerns me is celebrity magazines, television with five hundred channels, some guy's name on my underwear"
- Tyler Durden, Fight club.
I chucked the TV out, Leila was getting addicted to Doctor Who.... I wanted to throw it off the balcony and watch it shatter into tiny little fragments, you know pretend I was a rock and roll chic, create a little distruction....but obviously my rock and roll days have gone as I was too worried about the mess and the broken glass....someone might hurt themselves! Anyway I'll have to come round yours for Mighty Boosh, Spaced and Black Books nights now.
