| Location | France |
| Introduction | From England, but have been living in France for over 20 years now. |
| Interests | I love reading, and listening to Radio 4 (a lifeline!), following current affairs (and gossip!!), collecting things found around and about, creating things - especially sewing, beadwork & collages, messing around in the garden, walking in towns & cities, and the countryside when I can, I love animals - especially cats, and looking at and admiring the beauty of many insects (mosquitos not included in the category !!), trying to find the links and stories behind things... |
| Favorite Movies | ANGEL - appeared very cheesy at first but yet it really seemed to strike a chord, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND - just so quirky & positive, GADJO DILO - just great - funny and beautiful, the WIZARD OF OZ because it's still magic after all of that time... |
| Favorite Music | A weird mixture of things... but I have to say my favourite sound is the blackbirds singing on the roof in May. |
| Favorite Books | Anything by my all-time favourite writer MARGARET FORSTER, followed by books by W.G.SEBALD, the BRONTE SISTERS, OLIVER SACKS (especially Uncle Tungsten), HARUKI MURAKAMI, PAT BARKER, PETER ACKROYD, JOHN FOWLES, ANNE TYLER.... |
