About Me

Hello. My name is Katie and I really like dogs. And birds, especially Crows, particularly when they walk along paths.
Recently, I met a Pointer called Fritz, when I was walking a rabbit, and a Rotweiller called Tank, when I was drinking a pint.
I like talking in accents, and sometimes reading things in accents in my head.
I live on my own in a giant wardrobe, surrounded by books, bags filled with scarves, paints, paper and numerous zoological finds, such as half hatched eggs, dried out frogs and a badgers skull.
I am working on becoming an illustrator. That is my dream job.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good, old - fashioned, tweedy, horsey types.
No nonsense country people with an active interest in preserving things such as hedgerows, farming lunches on a friday, cracking stock whips on the lawn at day break, maria callas, "proper" haircuts, people who know that there is a difference between "hounds" and "dogs".

Maggots; Focaccia and Iced Lemon Buns
