I am grounded, dreamy, and gentle.

My Self-Summary

Hi

I came to Alice Springs because of the place- the light and the desert scenery, and I love it. Mind you I just visited Scotland and was wowed, constantly by the scenery there. So- I love powerful scenery and being surrounded by beauty. Enjoy camping, especially away from the madding crowds. As well, I read, write and fondle books. I read fantasy and reference (birds and geology and I write for children. I live with a personality dog- did I say I like animals?

What I’m doing with my life

My job takes me driving in the desert- so it keeps me busy and dusty. Sometimes I even go 4wdriving out there for recreation! I visit my family and friends on the East Coast and in Oxford. I read and write and go to movies- even the occasional opera! I walk my dog along the Todd where she is divebombed by birds in the nesting season.

I’m really good at

ideas. Love learning.

The first things people usually notice about me

No idea- I'm usually quiet at first. My dog- she's the extrovert.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Well- what can I say-
Juliet Marillier is my current fantasy passion, but I always like the old favourites Charles de Lint, Neil Gaiman and Robin McKinley. Then there are the non-fiction- reading Landforms of Australia at the moment. Looking for books about crows. Dreading a visit to Melbourne as I can spend far too much at Andrew Isles bookshop
Movies- love good fantasy (which often comes disguised as children's. Just saw Burn after Reading- loved it. Local Hero is my all time favourite, and I am about to rewatch Juno which has an unbelievably good soundtrack. Have a collection of docos too.
Music- all sorts- well not quite - but bought The Proclaimers and one or two others in Scotland, Love Geoffrey Yunupingu, Andreas Scholl, Eric Bibb, some opera, John Butler, Mark Knopffler, Deborah Conway, ...stop me please.
Food- try not to- but love nuts, deep dark chocolate, coffee, chai tea, pasta, salmon....

On a typical Friday night I am

not quite sure what typical is. Could be driving home, or at the movies, out to dinner or curled up in bed with a good book.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

i'm quite shy when i first meet people.

You should message me if

you want to- I'm happy to chat.
