About
I live mostly in France, which sounds show-offy but if you saw our house you would realise it really isn’t. My husband Andrew is a marine engineer and works a lot round here, and we have three children. Wallace is four and likes calamari, trampolining and making loud announcements about just how he will run the world when he is Spiderman; Michael-Francis is nearly two and likes singing lalala, tucking bears under his arms and peering dubiously at new food, and Delphie is brand new and likes sleeping and the way the sun moves across the tree leaves.
Stuff I like
About a million years ago I had my old website with a list on it of stuff I liked, and for some reason people liked it too. I don’t know why, it’s entirely solipsistic. Even though I am obviously against, you know, defining yourself by your possessions and interests, blah blah blah.
