My Interests

Here's snippets of me...glass half full...making friends...yomping...seaside...mountains...forests...seashell s..pinecones...seaglass...teashops....real ale pubs...Sunday drives... reading...poetry...American short stories...love music...but can't make music...going to music festivals..love live music...live wires...my children...my godchildren...my friends...feeding people...big platters piled high!...baking...knitting...crochetting...telling stories...planning...making lists...doing silly things...warped sense of humour...I have opinions about social responsibility on a domestic and international level, but I don't ram it down anyone's throat...

I'd like to meet:

I've met lots of really interesting people on here, but I'm not into collecting friends. If you think we might have a common interest, by all means send me a friend request When I grow up...I would like to be the Cadburys Caramel Bunny!..

Music:

I have eclectic taste in music...I love Nick Drake, John Martyn, Richard Thompson, Joan Baez, Kate Rusby, Joni Mitchell, Gomez, Oysterband, Waterboys, Barenaked Ladies, They Might Be Giants, Miles Davis, The Be Good Tanyas, Paul Weller, Glenn Gould, Diana Krall.......BACH...I would like to think if my soul had a sound, it would be Bach...but this is wishful thinking

Movies:

I love films...bit of a film addict...not a buff...old..new...arthouse...world cinema...blockbuster...rom com....you name it...although not into gory...

Television:

Possibly the saddest moment in comedy's history...

Books:

I love reading...particularly writing that is sensual...engaging all the senses...I want to see, touch, taste..feel...I have a vivid imagination...so don't read things too scary! I prefer long books that I can lose myself in...I usually have a couple of books on the go...but haven't named them here because I don't have particular loyalties...although my favourite books of all time are 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' by Carson McCuller, 'Candide' by Voltaire and 'Mists of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Heroes:
