Interests I love dogs, especially Lurchers, long walks with Spike, the Quantock Hills in Somerset, politics, making things (particularly bags and cakes), furniture restoration, wood, gardening, taking pictures of stuff and spending time with the Dolls (great sisters and comrades!)
Favorite Movies Anything by the Coen Brothers, Stephen Poliakoff, Neil Jordan, and Peter Greenaway, Jason & the Argonauts ( but it has to be the Harryhausen version), The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, Pulp Fiction, Harold & Maude, The Crying Game, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Moulin Rouge
Favorite Music The Jam, The Undertones, Elvis Costello, John Martyn, Robert Wyatt, The Stranglers, Cocteau Twins, Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers (very special favourite), Julian Cope, REM, Pulp, Basement Jaxx, Gorillaz
Favorite Books I love detective stories, particularly Henning Mankell. I'm re-reading all my paperbooks in alphabetical order and I'm up to "G" which is quite good, but I really liked "C" (mostly because of Paolo Coelho). And of course there's the wonderful "Timoleon Vieta Come Home" by Dan Rhodes - a must for any dog lover
