How long you have been veggie?
  
Since I left the family home when I was 24 and did my own cooking I turned to a vegetarian diet despite my then partner being a regular meat eater. I 'flutter' between eating vegetarian and vegan, although prefering not eating cow dairy or tofu products.

 

Presenting/ acting experience / other interesting stuff you do..
  
I've been known to dabble in Improvisational Comedy but not seriously (ha ha). In my career I enjoy presenting information to groups and individuals. I've been interviewed and spoken on various BBC Radio shows and had 'my couple of minutes of national TV fame' by being part of an ITV/Meridian TV feature on seasonal affective disorder. I spoke about how to combate SAD using natural methods. I've been known to sing in a choir on stage although heaven knows what I really sound like, the singers in front of me may have something to say on that! In a past life I was the editor-publisher of a regional natural health and eco-issues magazine, so you see where my interests lie.

 

Favourite Food - I love eating wild herbs when out walking or from my garden such as rosemary or wild garlic. Dark 85% chocolate. Roasted almonds and seeds. Meal would be a good stir fry or a dahl with basmati rice.

Favourite way to chill out - Walks in the countryside, practising qi gong,  chanting with a group, lying in a jacuzzi staring at the moon. Attending (hippy-eco) festivals oh yes.

Perfect date - Visiting an art exhibition with my partner where I could also 'have a go' and groovy Salsa dancing.
