I live in Instow, North Devon with my partner, Steve, and my daughter Stevie (we like that name in our house !). I'm originally from Birmingham in the Midlands, UK and moved here almost 2 and a half years ago. I love music, films, art, reading, all the usual stuff. With regards to Kate I've loved her since I first saw her perform 'Wuthering Heights' on Magpie (remember that ?) after a school trip in 1978 - etched on my mind as you can see :) Met her very briefly in '82 at a record signing - it was cool (I wasn't!). Have met and made loads of friends on the Kate Forum - what a lovely bunch of funky coconuts.

I sell children's books to schools, playgroups, children's centres etc. I also sell paintings, sometimes, when the 'muse' strikes !
