I live for my friends, late nights, the beach, drinking, dancing, growing plants from seed, travelling anywhere/anyhow, reading on park benches, loud music, movies, laughing, cheese, colours, bad-birdwatching, sweaty gigs, trees, clean bed sheets, camping, finger painting, hot showers, homemade chocolate truffles, making animal friends, outdoor fires, old family photos, maps, pointy-toed high-heeled shoes and converse sneakers, customised jewellery, charity shop finds, marmite on toast, floating, tea.

Making a mess, singing at the top of my voice, moshing, baking, fancy dress parties, cocktails, bargain hunting, mixtapes, living online.
