| Introduction | I am a country girl and perhaps also a bit of a rock chick. I wear black wellies, and rather despise green ones and pink ones and hunter ones. As the Jolly Miller said, "I care for nobody, no, not I, and nobody cares for me." My Mother read me "Meg Merrilies" by John Keats when I was 6, and it seems to have influenced my life. My brothers are the craggy hills, my sisters larchen trees. Alone with my great family, I live as I do please. |
| Interests | Country Matters. Of course I'm not an investment banker; I put Emissionsgeschaf for my Industry because all these German words are coming up in the blog machinery, and I quite fancied this one. |
| Favorite Movies | Year of the Yellow Dog, ET, The Leopard |
| Favorite Music | Four Tops, Chopin, Sibelius, Scarlatti, Roberta Flack, Susie Quatro, Courtney Love. I prefer Opera; thus: all the Mozart and Richard Strauss operas. |
| Favorite Books | Richard Jefferies: *The Old House at Coate*, Edward Thomas: *The South Country*, Thomas Hardy: *The Woodlanders*, Adam Nicolson: *Perch Hill*, John Seymour: "Self Sufficiency" |
You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
No problem whatsoever. I will just go on bodging about here, hedging and ditching and knitting socks and making spags, and so on. That's what makes me happy. So, lucky me!
