About Me

I grew up in Singapore. I trained as a Shiatsu practitioner, but had to give up work because of health problems. I've lived with Dave for over 20 years, on the south coast. I'm a proud stepmother and now a step-grandmother.

My interests include writing, singing, reading (Stephen Baxter's science fiction is my current favourite), music, films, cooking - particularly making up my own recipes (spicy food and home-made ice cream are my specialities), growing things, and retail therapy. I'm also interested in art and design (especially Art Nouveau), language and etymology, mythology, psychology, and new scientific discoveries, and I like making greetings cards and jewellery.

My Favourite Music

Kate Bush, the Waterboys (especially Fisherman's Blues and This is the Sea), PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, Eurythmics, U2 - The Joshua Tree, Robbie Robertson's eponymous first solo album, soundtrack from Performance, Jimi Hendrix, John Martyn, Nick Drake, the Cocteau Twins, Fleet Foxes, Jewel, Spirit, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish.

    Thanks for your friendship Helen. My friends are expanding fast!

    Like you say we haven't spoken yet, but I'm sure we will soon.

    Can you be persuaded to come to Haworth? It is great meeting fellow Kate fans in the flesh, so to speak!

    Take care.

    My oversight as much as yours. I'd been meaning to check out your profile and send a friend request, but hadn't got round to it. Yesterday I thought you could do with another friend.

    Hey Helen,

    Funny that you have chosen the same background! You picked some great photos for your fave artists by the way, and some are my faves too! :) See you around!

    Hugs, Magdeleen

    Thank you for taking the time to comment!

    We do, I haven't got round to finishing off my profile section/updating it, so my music section doesn't fully reflect what I listen to now, but of course our tastes are very similar.
