Let me be near the sea...

About Me

I'm pretty straightforward. Loyal and in love with the sea. Simple things please me (good food, wine, books, company, conversation, walks, movies). Working in the wrong place, but working on it. With me, it's what you see is what you get.

My Interests

All things food, the sea, reading, friends and family, a well made cocktail, travel

I'd like to meet:

Around my fantasy dinner table would be: Neil Finn, Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, Eddie Izzard and Joanna Lumley. My friends know who else would be there if I was very very lucky!

Music:

Neil Finn and all things related, Bic Runga, Tori Amos, Bjork, Kate Bush, Lucid 3, Elemenop, The Mutton Birds, Emiliana Torrini, Caoline Lavell, Antipodean music in general. Favourite song ever is My Baby Just Cares for Me by Nina Simone

Movies:

Sucker for chick flicks: When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Elizabethtown, Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead,

Television:

Sex and the City, ER, Lost, Will and Grace, Silent Witness

Books:

When I was little my favourite book was 'Cindy and the Silver Enchantress' but no one I've ever met has ever heard of it! I read constantly and so the favourites change. The ones I go back to, my comfort books, are Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Hitchikers Guide to The Galaxy (The Trilogy). Tess Geritsen is good for gore at the moment, and Tony Hawks makes me laugh out loud. Currently reading...'Rapids: A Novel' by Tim Parks

Heroes:

Neil Finn is my lyrical hero. Colour is it's own reward indeed! Katherine Hepburn for independence and sheer bloody-mindedness Marilyn Monroe for glamour and under-rated smartness
