Bio
I'm a freelance copywriter and I live in sleepy Surbiton near London. I share my life with my partner, Graham.
After a hippy moment in Cornwall in 2003, I decided I was in the wrong job (it only took 18 years for me to work that one out) and took a leap into the unknown to become freelance and concentrate on writing.
It was liberating! I've met so many interesting and inspirational people in the last four years. My work and clients are varied: one minute I'm writing about beauty therapies and the next, construction.
Things I love:
Football: I've supported Man U since I was five. Art: but after years of studying it I've decided viewing and collecting is more fun.
Ballet: watching and doing. I joined a class six years ago and I'm hilarious. It's fairly undignified but it's great exercise.
Films: but not going to the cinema unless at an obscure time or to an arthouse cinema. I just can't stand the crunching, seat-kicking and chattering.
Music: not sure what I'd do without music. I was a punk and I haven't moved very far. The bands I love now I know I would have loved if I was 18 again.
Books: yes, I love reading. Well, I wouldn't be much of a writer if I didn't would I?
And I guess I must be getting old because I'm really into our garden. I work from home so it's nice to pop out there, pull up some weeds, plants something and think.
