Me
~ An autumn person rather than summer winter or spring.
~ Expressionism rather than Impressionism.
~ City rather than country but nostalgic about anything rustic.
~ From New Zealand but living in Australia. Well travelled with special love of Europe.
~ Like cats AND dogs
~ Nothing beats lolling around in bed (except in summer, when it’s too hot)
~ and if I must be up and about, nothing beats a really good coffee
