I ♡ freshly ground black coffee, travelling on trains, white roses, hugs, finishing crosswords, steak medium-rare, a well-turned phrase, big-brained scientists, the departure lounge, my homemade marmalade on toasted crumpets, hand-written letters, the possibility of aliens, the possibility of god, remote New Zealand beaches, jazz trumpets, the colour red, rom-com movies, the information superhighway, organic shapes, the poetry of ee cummings, the Bach cello suites of Yo-Yo Ma, ad-free content, picnics, pay day, and a good night's sleep.

I am scatterbrained, organised, coulrophobic, messy, hopeful, sarcastic, optimistic, romantic: made of 36% old lady (with a penchant for gin and poker), 47% growed-up-responsible woman (in matching lingerie), and 17% 8-year-old (on roller-skates). I live in londontown with my paramour (ash) and the furs (rex & badger).
