I Want To Be....

If I had five other lives I would be...

An explorer

A gardener

A seamstress

A museum curator

A librarian

Hmmm... Maybe I thought too much who knows..... This list seems kind of exactly what I would expect from me, nothing earth shattering really.


I would love to travel but not in a guided tour sort of a way. I like maps and finding places on them to go to. I like taking roads to see where they go. I would love to explore further afield, up jungle rivers, desert canyons and palm fringed lagoons. But I am quite happy finding nature reserves on the map and going to them. Driving down to find isolated little coves.

I would love to garden and the sad thing is I have a garden but don't garden.... Why? I need to get on this...

I like the idea of sewing, making soft furnishings for my home, making clothes for me and mine and maybe the odd cuddly toy. I have a sewing machine but have never worked up the courage to have a go. I havn't used a machine since school. i need to get on this as well...

I think the museum curator is the desire to have interesting things bought to me from all over the world. Seeing the whole collection, not just the select few items on display. I like things and I like learning. I don't necessarily want to own them.....

Librarian is no surprise at all. I like books. They feel like friends to me. There is something beautiful about a wall of books. Books are the best....

So I need to keep doing what I am doing but sew and garden as well....
