So who am I?

Here's a little bit about me...

I’m in my early thirties (am I really?  Goodness) and live with my boyfriend in Sussex.  We met a few years ago online, whilst I was studying for a PhD.  The distance soon became a bit too much and we moved in together just a few months later.  We don’t yet live in a property suitable for cats, but the minute we do then we will be acquiring two cats.  We’ve already named them.

I’m a volunteer with Girlguiding, which is a big part of my life.  I’m currently a Rainbow and Brownie leader and I absolutely love it.  I might have a slight obsession with owls.

I love tea and hate coffee.  English breakfast tea, nothing floral or herbal.  I have quite the mug collection, so feel free to come and join me, I’ll make a pot.

Post is one of my favourite things, both receiving and sending.  I volunteer with the small children’s charity Post Pals: the idea is to send cheery happy post to children with life-threatening or life-limiting medical conditions, as well as their siblings.  Do come and have a look, I manage their Twitter account @postpals.

I love to knit and crochet, especially the latter, and have made quite the collection of blankets.  I’m not going to be cold any time soon!

I’ve been a bibliophile for as long as I can remember – I always have a towering pile of books to read, my taste ranging from contemporary fiction, to children’s classics, to non-fiction.  Anything that isn’t sci-fi, really!

So that’s me.  All of these things are guaranteed to regularly turn up on my blog, along with anything else that’s caught my attention recently.  Make a cup of tea (or coffee, if you must), snuggle up under a blanket (I have spares) and accompany me on an adventure (or two).
