A Little About Me


Half British, half German I struggle to write in the former and know little of the language of the latter.

Favorite quote : "You are taller than you think." Louis Jestin Priest of St. Corentin's Cathedral, Quimper, France.

I value least money.

I value most the care and love of people around me.

I love the smells of vanilla and Tibetan incense.

My favorite words are amanuensis and serendipity.

I once tried to remove the top from an ink bottle with a set of pliers, cutting my finger deeply and staining my hand violet for a month.

I've had an assortment of cameras in my hands since I was 7 : one day I’ll learn how to use one.

I was once described by Professor Jimmy Edwards as “looking foreign”.

Too much tonsillitis at an early age left me with a love of ice cream and weakness at maths.

I’ll nearly always order crème brulee as a pudding.

I studied Tibetan Buddhism for 3 years.

I was married once.

I started this to share with one person, now that they rarely read it it's become more special to me.

I hate injections so much that my dentist refuses to give me anesthetic.

I onced played jazz in a dis-used hospital as Liz Hurley danced for me.

I love the sea and one day want to live next to it.

The last fight I had was on a London tube train prising off a girl who was beating up another for looking at her.

I spend too much time in museums.

I still have my teddy bear.

At the age of four I refused to wear a dress despite the fact I was told I was the same size as a distant cousin so it made sense to see if it fitted.

I give too freely of my time, my heart and latterly, my money.

A house I lived in is featured in an Inspector Morse episode.

My favourite cities are New York and Barcelona.

The best use I have put my money to is sponsoring two Tibetan children in India.

I own a large collection of cookery books and use them regularily.

I once tried to learn the sitar and studied Indian classical music.

In the summer I live outdoors, eating cooking and spending time in my garden.
