Here is a list of things that make my world turn around...

Train journeys
Evening sunshine hitting red brick
Making strangers into non-strangers
Seeing/doing things I have never seen/ done before
The smell just after it rains
Walking on a windy day
Photography
Making shapes out of clouds
Dappled sunlight
Vibrant, lifting music
Bird song
Jumping into the sea
Writing lists

It's a trick! Imagining lovely things that you want doesn't make your life lovelier. Enjoy what you've got, because it's all you've got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel. Currently I am living in Norwich in a small flat. I may not be able to host right now (not completely sure yet) but I am free to show you around Norwich.

Interests

Me and Jeff (my partner) both played in a local folk band in Norwich and love many different types of music. I am nuts about art and craft, including photography, acrylic painting, drawing, recycled craft, papier mache, silk painting, making weird and wacky inventions on the sewing machine (e.g. a wizard cape). I also really enjoy many outdoor pursuits which coincides with my love for nature.
