ABOUT ME
Outgoing and adventurous Im generally busy doing some activity or other, but have recently started to master the art of relaxation. Maybe it's because I'm getting old, ha! I'm 29 and live with my boyfriend and our cat in our cute old maisonette, very central Alston. I work long hours but also get long holidays, sometimes I just take unpaid time off to go gallivanting. I love sunshine and detest cold and damp.
PHILOSOPHY
A ship that stays in the harbour is safe, but that's not what ships are made for.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love anything with a good tune, fiddles and trumpets! Since we don't have a TV I've probably watched too many films to have a favourite but most recently enjoyed moonrise Kingdom and shooting dogs. I'm currently reading Bill Bryson short history of everything, and recently finished Man's search for meaning. Generally I like something that educates me about the world we live in but now and then I also enjoy abroad chic lit/flick.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Swimming (trying to swim- them beasts are fast) with Giant Mantas was pretty awesome.
Teach, Learn, Share
Creativity is contagious, pass it on. Imagination o's more important than knowledge, said the great Einstein.... I can teach you how to knit!?
