| About myself |
Music: I like a wide range of music from classical, through Country, Folk, Pop and Heavy Metal. Amongst my favourite artists are Clannad, Elvenking, Tyr, The Calling, Jewell, Damh the Bard, Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Moonspell, Nightwish, Rammstein, Grean, Within Temptation, Blake Shelton, Evanescence, Joe Cocker, The Pretenders, Shakespears Sister, Van Morrison and for a bit of fun, Bad Manners and Madness. I could go on, but my page will be a mile long, so I'll stop there. :)TV: I don't watch an awful lot of T.V. these days, but some of my favourite shows from the past are Mr. Bean, Blackadder, The Last of the Summer Wine, Heartbeat and Auf Wiedersehen Pet. Of course, I love to watch a good football match and the occasional rugby match and Time Team has captured my imagination big time!Books: The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell, The Grail Quest by Bernard Cornwell, The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell, Stonehenge by Bernard Cornwell, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, and the infamous Lorna Doone!Sports: Leeds United Rule, OK!Interests: English history, especially the Dark Ages. I take a great interest in the Anglo Saxons, King Arthur, Robin Hood and the Vikings. Megalithic and Neolithic sites also interest me, together with ancient barrows and mounds. Stonehenge holds a special "magick" for me, as does Glastonbury and my favourite two barrows are Wayland's Smithy and West Kennett Longbarrow. I like the freedom to roam, to walk on the hills and in the countryside, sitting by running water and combing beaches. I like to paddle in the edge of the waves, shoes in hand. My shoes are off whenever the opportunity presents itself because I like to feel the Earth beneath my feet. I enjoy candlelit dinner for two, especially if it's Indonesian or Thai, but I also enjoy Chinese, Indian and Mexican food. My favourite restaurant is the Bali Brasserie in Hove. I adore the atmosphere there, and the waitresses in their national costume. The food is an added bonus. My favourite meal at this restaurant is the four-course Ricetable. If you live in the area and like Indonesian/Malaysian food, I recommend you try the place, at least once!Movies: My favourite films include Ghost, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Young Frankenstein, Escape to Victory, Braveheart, Lord Of The Rings, King Arthur and Merlin. My favourite actor of all time was Anthony Quinn... I loved that man. He wasn't all good in real life but he was a great actor. He will be sadly missed. My favourite actors today are Clive Owen and Mel Gibson.BestFeatures: Years ago, I would have said my blue eyes, but now that others are not shy about telling me, other features have been added, like the colour of my hair and my ability to listen.Dreams: In my World, my biggest dreams are private, but I will share that I'm a freedom lover and would dearly love to be the owner of a Romany caravan and a Shire horse, and the freedom to roam the World at will with one other person by my side. It probably will never happen in reality but my dream stays alive in a positive light.
