| Interests | Reading, Arts, Patchwork & Quilting, Politics, History, Ecology, Needlepoint, Organic Gardening, Cooking (to a point), more reading mainly History & Biography, I'll think of the rest later. |
| Favorite movies | Mmmmm. Hard one this. Most people laugh. "ET" - first film I blubbed my eyes out "Gone with the Wind" second ditto & for sheer scale, glamour & story. "Nosferatu" 1914 version or is it 1913 - far far scarier than any other as looks like a bad home movie. "Moulin Rouge" - for oomph "Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" saw it at 16 - Loved magie Smith as an actor ever since. "My Left Foot" very moving stays with you Original " one flew over the cuckoo's nest" phew Star Trek all of them - that shows my age! |
| Favorite music | Baroque, Bird, Handel, Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Scarlatti, Elizabethan - Sting, Madonna, Pavarotti, Opera, Andrea B, Annie Lennox, Eurythmics - Lord, I am old!! |
| Favorite books | History pre 20thC,Biography Archaeology,Sociology. Specifically: Crossstitch - seen me through many an illness. The " Angelique" series - vintage bodice rippers, reading Bill Bryson just now and he makes me laugh out loud. Hilary Mantell is fantastic - all of them. |
