About Me

I love listening to my MP3 player and drifting off into my own world, late night trips to Tescos, that feeling you get when you hear the beginning of a song you really love, spending time outdoors, the west coast of Scotland, the forest, the mountains, road trips with friends, my little car, chocolate, meatball subs with extra cheese, giving someone a present you know they’ll love, being part of a really responsive crowd at a packed out gig, talking and laughing with my friends, eating out, punting, laughing at myself when I have blonde moments (which are all too often), spending time with my family, my nephew’s mischievous laugh, my niece’s adorable smile, driving long distances, spending an entire weekend watching films non stop, CUDDLES, the word ‘procrastinate’, bedroom dance parties, drinking good tea/wine with friends, talking for hours about everything, and nothing, and wondering where the time went…
