Music, Movies, and Books

I love great movies, both old and new and adore good music, particularly anything that makes me move and anything that moves me.

I also love to read: everything from fiction to cereal packets. My favourite books include Different Seasons (Stephen King), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Jean Dominique Bauby), The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee (Jared Diamond), Kitchen Confidential (Anthony Bourdain)and Me Talk Pretty One Day (David Sedaris) to name but a handful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to mention them all- I've sailed down the fjords, surrounded by waterfalls on either side, I've walked by the redwoods in Muir Woods, I've seen dolphins swimming by the side of a cruiseboat off the Greek islands, tried haggis in Scotland and hiked up the hills of Yorkshire, and I've also walked on fire. To be honest, it kinda hurt.
