My name is Caro, I live in the boro with my husband Euan and my cat Luna. We live in a nice flat up in the sky over looking some trees and a derelict building, from the window we can see birds, cars, old men stumbling home from the pub, leaves, lots of leaves, posh houses, and out across the horizon the kingdom of Fife........
Things...I...like.... The smell of Honey, Frankensense, Coconut, Toast, Grass, Bluebells, Organic Vine Tomatoes, Mince and Onions, The Seaside, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Walnut Tree Leaves, Chocolate, and Home........The feeling of the outside of sleeping bags against my finger nails........Whipped potions and lotions and carefully concocted creamy creams in blue glass bottles........Tarina Tarrantino Jewelery, Penhaligons Bluebell PerfumeA full bodied red, or a crisp white, depending on the occasion........Plates still hot with dishwasher steam........Free samples........Sleeping........Wearing pajama bottoms and a bra, snuggling into bed with cold pillows and a warm duvet........Real Letters through the post........Watching Euan and Luna cuddle while watching Rugby together........Coffee freshly brewed the first sip and sniff........The satisfaction of twezzering a hair........Holding hands........Cracking pistachio nuts and making a big mound of shells into art........Being noisy in an art gallery........Playing my favourite album on repeat........The side of my cats face as she rubs it against mine in the morning........Walking barefoot on rocks and sand then soothing my soles in the sea........My nanas laugh........The juxtaposition of salty dulse followed by creamy ice cream........Live performance........Pulling on an old dress and finding as the zip comes to a slow stop that it still fits........Swaying from left to right as I wiggle as I walk in high heels........My mothers Christmas stuffing........Cantering at speed across a field against the wind........Kissing outside........Emails arriving in my inbox........
Happy meat........Shelling peas........The power of mascara........I am also rather fond of egg sarnies with salt and vinegar crisps in...??? ........................My Hopes and Fears.............I am afraid of;Bridges (combination of heights and water!)Corned beef, (cos it comes in little tins with keys, and keys usually let you unlock secrets and doors and give you a right of passage into a place of wonder...
all the wee corned beef key does is unlock a pandora’s box of maroon, marbled mush, that I was force fed as a child, and consequently gives me the heebeegeebees)Burning in the sun (never clever)and Virginia Woolf! ....................I am not afraid;.............
To fall in love, read by candlelight, consume Marlboro lights with red wine, and wear clothes that inspire me....Over the years these have proven to be much more dangerous.I hope.....
To eventually learn to drive, to write my best selling novel for teenagers and buy an apartment in the West Village, a house in Merchiston, and a cottage by the sea, to be loved, treasured, and trusted, to make people smile, to fight for the rights of my 'ethnic minority' (3% of the world's population are redheads you know!!)to learn the art of patience, to remain fashion forward but not fixated and continue to blaize my own style trail, and most of all I hope to be a good person and a good mate / wife / cook / laugh / fairy........Thanks for dropping by - don't be a stranger... if you would like to be my friend that is swell, but do introduce yourself first, mind your manners!!
