Have a gorgeous, naughty, disobedient Jack Russell terrier called Bungle (aka 'The Puppy'). My favourite people are Mark, Bungle, my mum and dad and my sister Kath and her fiance Wesley. Did a five year degree at Keele University in German and Russian, and lived for 5 months each in Graz (Austria) and Tver (Russia). I am just learning to drive.
