Introduction I like laughing and playing. Bit of an Anglophile. Dig cool accents and voices. Also evocative smells.I love brainstorming and creating and obviously daydreaming! I have a family that includes a dog, a rabbit, a guinea pig, some humans. I adore gypsy caravans, campervans, rowboats and picnics, the early morning and evening. Rivers, forests, meadows, the sea. I like fancy dress, all aspects of theatre, writing, painting, photography, food, drawing, reading, house design, clothes design, gardening, walking and travelling/exploring.

Paper or briefs?

Usually briefs because paper tends to scratch your bottom.
