My blogs
| Introduction | I'm a Southerner whose heart lies in the North, in Newcastle. People have soul mates, and I believe I have found my 'soul city'. Everything about Newcastle enlightens me - the people, the culture, the life, the environment. I need to capture it while I can, as my own soul mate is a Kiwi, and he's taking me back home with him. |

| Favorite books | currently reading a suitable boy. it's a brick, but it's lovely. partial to books I read as a kid - am loving giving them a read again, it's a comfort thing-kids book, duvet and cup of tea, definite sunday activity. been through the Magic Faraway Tree, Anastacia Krupnik series, the Judy Blume books (Are You there God It's Me Margaret, and all that lot) it's sad but true, I love kids books. When I'm reading for my age though I like anything biographical set in another culture or period... wild swans/falling leaves/mao/startling moon. peter kay's autobiography - "EVERYBODY INSIDE, ITS SPITTIIIIIIING!!! "cheese-cake, cheeese-CAKE??? i've seen the future and it's garlic bread..." Pick Me Up (not a book, but due to discovering it's not such a dirty secret, thought I'd stand proud and admit I LOVE 'REAL' LIFE SHITE!!!!) It's a weekly anthology of Jeremy Kyle's guests, can't get more educational and explicitly biographical than that... |
