1. I'd love to live by the sea one day
Alas, it's London town where I'm based for the timebeing and maybe Paris one day?
2. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years
I'm a great animal lover, especially cats.
3. I can't roll my tongue, but the rest of my family can
Something to do with a recessive gene if I remember from school biology lessons? That, or I'm adopted and don't know it!
4. I like to use Gimp for my photo editing
http://www.gimp.org/
5. I can speak French, Spanish, some Portuguese and Serbo-Croat
A languages degree and various random courses taken over the years...
6. I was white blonde as a child
Sadly no more, more of a golden brown these days...
7. I have a 72 year old cutlery set, which we use most days
Inherited from my Grandparents (a wedding present in 1938) and recently re-plated to its full glory.
8. I can identify someone's nationality from their English accent and this freaks a lot of people out
I work in a language school where we teach English to overseas students.
9. I lived and worked in France for a year
Teaching and generally sampling the wine culture of the South West ; )
10. I don't like coffee, but love the smell
It's herbal teas all the way for me I'm afraid!
