I’m into drinking mulled wine round a camp fire, walking (with lots of sitting and looking at beautiful spots) and going to the pub, flushed and muscle ache-y on the way home. I got a thermos for Christmas(!)I’m currently writing a ‘best charity shops in the North West’ (send me your info). This means we can all keep being fabulous 24/7, not just at parties and festivals. I like polka dots, flamenco and frilly knickers. I like dancing to salsa, soul, reggae, disco, jungle and electronic music with a sense of humour. I’d like to learn how to whirl like a dervish.I like eating seasonal fruit and vegetables and Pasta al Forno, drinking Cote de Rhone and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my lovely mates.V potted philosphy: Respect people and planet, cycle, re cycle, act against nasty companies/policies, 'bread not bombs', use of humour in times of crises (irreverant/ dark/ uncomplicated/ self mocking, but not clowning though-clowns are scary)I don’t think you have to transcend everyday life to live authentically, but I do appreciate unusually wonderful happenings.
