1. What is your age range? 62-63

2. Gender? goddess.

3. Do you have a favorite color? I like rich "jewel" colours - purples, blue-greens, rich reds and golds, burnt orange, burgundy, copper, and sunset colours, dark green and black.

4. Favorite authors/ type of book? Pagan, witches, weird humour, Terry Pratchett (but I've already read a number of them), Douglas Adams, Roald Dahl, science fiction, books on gardening.

5. What books have you really been wanting? Maybe one of the Dune series, or the latest Harry Potter?

6. What type of music do you like? At the moment I have a strong liking for romantic songs. Other than that - folk, harmony singing, sea shanties and chorus songs, music with unusual instruments in - hurdy gurdies, all sorts of pipes, uillean pipes, appalachian dulcimers etc, high energy Irish music and slow airs with a low whistle, world music, good classical music when I am in the right mood, blues, trad jazz, movie soundtracks.

7. What cds have you really been wanting? "Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns". One of yours if you have one, mudcat CD's, anything that fits what I described in No. 6.

8. What movies (specify VHS if you don't have a DVD player) have you been wanting? I would love to get a copy of "The Seven Faces of Dr Lao", on either VHS or DVD, but have been unsuccessful so far. I like comedy, romantic movies, anything with Peter Sellers, or along the same lines as my favourite types of books - such as science fiction, or any Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, or the TV version of the Hitchhikers Guide. Is "Tales of the Unexpected" on DVD?

9. What is your t-shirt size? Think large - Goddess size - if you have any that represent you or your area, that would be good, otherwise, I have masses of t-shirts already.

10. Do you collect anything? if so, what? I have a collection of tiny houses but I like all miniatures, mobiles, things made of copper, iron, brass or glass, essential oils, soaps, candles and anything else that smells nice, things that appeal to my sense of touch - satin, velvet, soft and cuddly things, shells, unusual crystals and rocks, hand-made things - anything from your area would be great.

11. What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening - particularly herbs and vegetables, camping, photography, pottering around markets, writing silly poems and limericks, trying new and interesting recipes, having a few friends round for a BBQ and session, and I enjoy a good red wine and interesting cheeses too. My favourite drink of all time is an aperitif from France called "Pineau de Charentes". I'm also partial to a Guinness or a good single-malt whisky. I like watching and photographing sunsets.

12. Do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Usually silver or pink gold or copper, and I prefer fine and delicate to large and chunky, although something medieval or dramatic or Pagan themed would be interesting. I like red, purple and green stones and moonstones too. I have pierced ears.

13. Please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like I like witchy and Pagan things. I like things that appeal to my senses. I especially like handmade stuff and old stuff - things that are unique. Anything that reflects you, your personality, your music, your interests, your lifestyle or where you live would be greatly valued. It would be fun if you wrap my pressie in the local paper or similar.

14. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. Nothing that anyone here is likely to send me, I hope!
