Alright, let's see...

I'm a 34 year old Child Protection and Mental Health lawyer living in the North-ish of England.

I live with my partner, our 9 month old baby and our mental Bernese Mountain Dog, who weights 8 stone but thinks he can sit on your lap. Which he does.

My main passion in life is reading, although I love learning new things and writing letters to my penpals as well. Books are my Thing though - if I had to choose one aspect that I consider Me, it would be reading.

This is always a tough question for me! I'll read anything - classics, YA, non-fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.

Here's a selection of my favourites:

Pride and Prejudice The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. We Bought A Zoo The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle] The Moonstone

I actually collect different editionf of Pride and Prejudice. I have 104!

Letters Postage stamps Address labels Stationery Writing paper Washi tape Decorative tape Stickers Bookmarks Origami/decorative paper Postcards

I'm also into stamp collecting. My particular favourites are Chinese/Lunar New Year, and animals with the Latin name on the stamp. I'm not fussy though - honestly, I just find all stamps fascinating./

I don't like nuts or coffee. Or fairies.

Oh, and I'm scared of fish. Yeah, I know.

I like my postcards to be stamped and written on, unless the swap specifies otherwise. I'd also love it if you could write a date and your country, unless it's obvious from the postcard. I like a nice handwritten message too, but then who doesn't :)

I love vintage travel images, tourist views (but I do like them to say the place name on the front), map cards, photographs of animals, books, black and white photographs, garden gnomes, and... most other things, but those are my favourites.

I'm not so keen on cartoons or ad cards, really.
