Hi! I'm 'new' so to speak ;o) I love theatre and culture, good books and conversation, mountains and snow, fireplaces and hot tea. I adore animals, especially those with cuddly possibilities. I love to learn new things and am very curious by nature - often times with my nose in a book. The few times I watch tv, the channel is more frequently than not tuned in to something on Discovery or History or the like. I'm a country girl by default, born and raised, and while I love to visit the city, I am much more at home with trees and mountains and open spaces - I despise light pollution and love to see the milky way at night!
