ABOUT ME

A sanguine, chocolate-loving, beer-drinking, slightly geeky and chatty person who loves good company of like-minded and unlike-minded people.

My boyfriend has finally persuaded me to move to London, and, as you can imagine, I don't have many friends here, so I would be more than happy to meet new people. So, if you're looking for someone to have coffee or beer / go to charity shops / moan about today's youth / go to museums and exhibitions / explore London / have a laugh with, feel free to send me a message! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Carry laughter with you wherever you go.

"Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter." - Lewis Carroll
