ABOUT ME
Firstly I live
in Cape Town, not the southern most tip of Africa as many people think
but still the Cape of Storms, or even if you like the fairest Cape of all.

Feathered Friends
2
budgies - not a lot one can say about them
Interests
Horses
Riding
them. Watching them. All things equine related.
Just Me
and Satch messing about in the paddock
which leads
nicely into my next interest......
Motorsport
Formula
One, Big Saloon cars, anything with a screaming engine
or a V8 vroom broom.
Ayrton was my hero. But Daytona and
the Indy 500 are better
to watch. I also like GP Motorbikes.Ok
perhaps I am a speed
freak.... shrug. Since
I am now in SA it seems appropriate to have a photo of
one of SA's finest, F1
World champion Jody Scheckter at Osteriechring 1979
Naturally this small section
on motorsport would not be complete without a photo of the best
Formula One Driver ever..
Ayrton Senna
Photography
Would that I had the
time and the money to pursue this hobby.
A couple of my efforts
are seen within these here web pages.
Food
I
enjoy cooking and I just adore my food. Some favourites of mine are oysters,
crayfish (west coast lobster), abalone, greek lamb, rare roast beef. Pasta,
hell just about everything. Strawberries and even better are raspberries.
I could just go on and on. Thai food, some wonderful good old british desserts,
yum. Hence I love watching celebrity chef James Martin do wonderful things with spun sugar baskets - I like a man thats good in the kitchen!
Music
Classical-
to iron to. Rock, alternative, pop, reggae, dance. You name it I like it
all. C'ept rap and country and western that is, although the Dixie Chicks aren't half bad.
Astrology
Some 40 or more books
on the subject adorn my groaning bookshelves. I very occasionally do natal
charts for friends, but you have to be real special for me to reach up
for the emphemeris. It is a fascinating and absorbing science/art.
For those who are interested
I am a Piscean with a Leo Ascendant and a Sagittarius moon. So I have a
tendancy to day dream, a long mane of hair and I am fond of shooting my
mouth off. For the more brave of you who may wish to challenge me on some
topic one day, beware, I have Mars in Taurus, and my Leo pride does not
make me a good loser.
People & Chatting
I enjoy watching people, you know, just sitting on a beach watching the passing parade, I find humans fascinating, what strange creatures we are indeed.
I like talking but even more I like listening. I think I am a good listener
and not an opinionated person. Well if I am, at least I don't foist them
on others and I wont have others foist them on me! I have met some very
dear people chatting on the net and some total jerks as well, but the good
ones out number the bad eggs. I salute you all fellow chatters and citizens
of the world.
Books
I
am an avid reader. Mostly novels. But as mentioned I have quite a number
of astrology and books on other topics which interest me. I can spend hours
in a bookshop and nearly always emerge lighter of purse!
Travel
Been there
England-
born and grew up there In a small village in Kent. Here's the local
church St Michael's and All Angels, The Main Street and a farm house

in Kent.
