About Me:

I was born in Derbyshire, England, moved to Wales age 11. It sucked. Left as soon as I could. Travelled, got a college degree. Travelled. Ended up in Tucson, AZ for a really long time cos I fell in love with someone who was in love with Tucson. Longed for the green grass of home, so I have returned to nuture my demons. I am married to a dog called Snorty and a man called Elliott. I am not a people person...but I like to dance. I like to ride my bike. I love yoga. Sometimes I eat too much, occasionally I drink too much or blow out in other ways. I love animals, and plants too. I wish I could speak Spanish or play a guitar or maybe a violin.
Im much more at one with nature than most things. I hate destruction of life on this planet for personal greed. I also hate racism, sexism, and homophobia. Hate is a strong word, maybe upset by is better? But I am not a people person. I cant relate.
