Travelling, learning, chilli sauce, summer rain, flip-flops, laughing, Spain and all things hispanic, my family and friends, stargazing, music, yoga, dancing, swimming, other cultures and religions, sleeping, mangoes, cycle-touring, moments of clarity, walking in the countryside, writing lists, H&M, cooking, picnics, dark chocolate, collecting shells then leaving them until they get really smelly.
Lovely people.
Ooh, tricky one... Anything that's good, played with passion. Mostly funk, folk, reggae, latin sounds (salsa, son, bossa nova, flamenco fusion-type stuff), afrobeat, blues, indie/rock, electronic and anything that makes me lose it on the dancefloor. Oh, and a bit of classical.
Anything that makes me think, laugh or cry, including Together, Secrets & Lies, Amores Perros, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Leon, Dancer in the Dark, E.T., Amelie, Dirty Dancing, The Shawshank Redemption, Withnail & I, Being John Malkovich, Life is Beautiful, Thelma & Louise, Motorcycle Diaries, Gorillas in the Mist, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Cinema Paradiso, Il Postino, Usual Suspects, Rear Window, cheesy 80s American high school movies...and I'll stop there.
I try to avoid turning it on, otherwise it has an evil ability to suck me into watching shite for hours, but I do love the Simpsons, wildlife/nature programmes and documentaries (just watched Favela Rising on C4, a spine-tinglingly inspiring doc about a man who uses music to fight violence in the Rio slums).
Amongst other things The Alchemist, The God of Small Things, The Kite Runner, Atonement and The Little Prince.
My late Mum, my late Grandma, and my amazing grandparents who, in their late 80s, still grow their own veg and go walking in the Lake District.
