Beyond the red tape and work desks of nine to five obligations, I itch for white noise and white wine. When you canât find my nose trapped in one of several shot glasses of tequila or a bottle of Jack Daniels however, I might just settle for a green tea sat righteously upon your knee.

I have spent many a year moving back and forth between London and the home counties. I am at heart a Notting Hillbilly, but was born an Essex boy and currently call Surrey my home. I often get confused whilst watching cricket. I used to drive but now I don't. I used to smoke but now I don't. I still like getting drunk, though not to the point where I throw up.. I am more likely to dribble and tell you that I love you.

So yeah, I'm 5'11" or so... brown hair, brown eyes. Lived in the same old house in Fulham, London all my life - I love London but a wanna live somewhere new just for a year or so with an apartment in London - paradise... If I were to move to another country, there would be a lot of things I'd miss about England I think - these include The Premiership, the pub, Wimbledon (tennis,not the place), and so on...

I do my own thing and my tastes are eclectic. My look might be dated by about 40 years- but at least every 4 years or so I look like I'm in fashion! I live in domestic bliss in a kitsch little house with my husband Richard, new baby son Frank and a cat who has adopted us. In my spare time I can mostly be found in Neal Street looking at shoes or at Stamford Bridge swearing at the ref!
