| Personal Interest |
| I enjoy reading; my current favourite subjects are zen buddhism and thrillers. I also appreciate contemporary music and films ranging from Lion King to Gravity. I am the proud mother of two fine young men. A lot of my free time is spent with my family and friends; talking and cooking and eating - usually chinese dishes ! |
