About
A great lover of art, especially painting and drawing - German Expressionism. The art of calligraphy. black and white photography, short stories, poetry, lyrics reading the lyrics of songs, cooking for my love, my family, and my friends. Falling into a deep, serene sleep. Finding my true love. Rock shows, wine tasting, spa days and babies. Goal: making more time for life and less time working to support it.

Friendship? I am most humbly honoured Madam! Please excuse me but I have some lacrosse sticks that are in desperate need of a good polish...

Stliton cheese and Modigliani? A heady mix indeed, though I believe Modigliani doesn't go quite as well with water biscuits. I was lucky enough to see his works at the Royal Academy exhibition in London last year. Superb sculptures and paintings but a first rate cad if ever I saw one...
