England

I live and love the smog of London, a perfect bind of past and present. With such wonderful places to wander or visit; Brick Lane, the London Dungeons, Borough Market, museums, theatres, Barbican Arts Centre, Camden Market, live music of all genres, parks, Nelson's statue in Trafalgar square, black cabs and, last but not the least, rain. It is said, "in the mist of rain of an autumn urban morning the London cobblestones of older thoroughfares look as if they are bleeding". A city where you can get lost in the crowd but know your friends will always find you.

Like all great cities London has perfect access for escape in doing so I enjoy being active, weekends away, camping and hiking and luxury hotels. Being a sloth on the occasional wet morning, staying under the duvet with a pot of coffee, a good book and.

Where do I start!!! Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zepplin, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Primal Scream, Frank Zappa, Cats in Paris moving onto Grove Armada, Amon Tobin, to, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, Alela Diane, Bafanna, Ella Fitzgerald… where do I end!!! the music goes on and on...

Films that stay in my memory:

Irreversible: Gaspar noé (2003)
Once Were Warriors: Lee Tamahori (1995)

The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams is my all time favourite book it is a timeless masterpiece that warms my heart.. It takes 20 minutes to read and is as poignant today as it was in 1922.
