age range         - Oh-No-I-can't-believe-I'm-sixty! (but only on the
                     outside)

gender            - definately distaff side

favourite colours - anything green, blue or in between,
                     russet and autumal colours

favourite authors - same as last year. I particularly like well
                     researched historical "who-dun-its" and regional
                     cook books but have a life times worth

books wanted      - I'm prepared to find space for "America over the
                     Water" by Shirley Collins

favourite music   - "Traditional" folk, early music and European
                      music

CD's I would like -   really, really would love "Les Travailleurs de
                      la Mer" (Ancient Songs from a Small Island)on
                      Harmonia Mundi - but I'd also cherish anything
                      from you or your region

movies I would like - The Ghost in the Shell or The Ghost in the Shell
                      (Innocence) - fantastic graphics!

T-shirt size       - UK 12 or medium for comfort!

what do I collect? - don't go there.......have to use a shoe horn to
                      get in the attic

Hobbies             - Reading, learning languages, reading, cooking
                      and dining, reading, folk dancing, etymology
                      and reading!

jewelry             - wear very little but prefer silver-tone or
                      pewter

Anything else?      - nothing "smelly"
                      addicted to liquorice, wine and malt whisky but
                      nothing with peanuts or coconut!
                      Again, something from your area - or from your
                      own hands would be great.
