About Me

Here I am, 40's, fun, pagan but happy to hear what anyone has to say... I live in Ipswich, UK, but my heart belongs in Pembrokeshire, West Wales (home!)... I'm separated with three children - 19, 17 and 8, and I am now with the person I should have been with 20 years ago... I teach 4-7 year olds with complex learning needs - physical and academic (it keeps me off the streets and that is always a good thing)... I love trees, cats, rugby (longtime Llanelli fan) thunderstorms and a nice pint in a good pub with friends... I read, I listen, I take pictures, I play a little guitar, and sometimes I write... but a lot of the time I just look around me... I have started to write lyrics to the songs I hear in my head - they are on my blog, feel free to take a look

People see you as a friendly and popular individual. You tend to look on the bright side of things and have many friends. Your leadership skills and popularity are attractive to others. Some may be a little intimidated by you at first, but in the end your carefree attitude usually wins them over. Just make sure you don't put your friends in front of yourself.

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

My Interests

The job I do, The people I love, The people I meet, The places I go (even the ones in my head), the pictures I see and the ones I make, the sounds that fill my life....

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting...! On second thoughts - anyone at all..! You Are 73% Strange!

You are pretty darn strange. You're quirky and odd, and definitely not normal. But that's great--it makes you an interesting person. You aren't exactly as strange as they come, but congratulations on being quite unique!

How Strange Are You?

Music:

.. There is not enough life to listen to all the music I want to hear... but if someone is passionate about their music, then I want to hear it... I began as a punk, I grew into Jazz, Blues and Soul, I embraced 60's/70's Rock, I have a slighly sad affection for 80's goth (The Cult, The Cure, All about Eve) and Folk has been the white noise of my life... Amazing things are out there - Afrocelt, Sigur Ros, Seth Lakeman, SOAD, Massive Attack - all you have to do is listen... I finally discovered country - though I have yet to see the point of Nashville... Basically I listen to everything, and enjoy most of it... I play around with the guitar, and sometimes people listen to me sing - what more can I ask

Movies:

See above...! In a past life I was a film student so I saw a lot of stuff, but it didn't kill my love of film... I was sitting in fleapit cinemas on a Saturday afternoon from the age of seven and I still get a thrill when that magic light hits the screen... I once sat through Van Helsing - you gotta have a lotta love to do that... Each new film is a new adventure...

Television:

God bless the BBC... Reality shows are proof that evolution can only take you so far... Stephen Poliakov is proof that you can go further...

Books:

Philip Dick, Ray Bradbury, Terry Pratchett, Angela Carter, William Blake, Joseph Conrad, Doris Lessing, James Joyce, Margaret Atwood, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ursula Le Guin,... The list goes on and on...

Heroes:

John Martyn, Nick Drake, Batman, Groucho Marx, Muhammed Ali, Miles Davis,Wolverine, William Blake, Charlie Christian,Edward Hopper, Johnny Depp, Frida Kahlo, Cartier-Bresson, Bob Carlos-Clarke, Eddie Izzard, Richard Thompson, Betty Page, Nigella Lawson, Tony Benn, Jimi Hendrix, The first man to brew beer, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Roger Walters... The list goes on and on...
