About me

Sue

Hi my name is Sue, I was born sometime in 1952, in Plymouth, my father being from Darlington and my Mother from Edinburgh. I have a sister who is a teacher. My husband and I were married, in Fareham, in 1972, and have two boys, aged 25 and 28. We moved to Didcot in 1975, and have been here ever since. I worked in one of the local shops, and had been there for 14 years, it closed early this year. I now work in one of the other local shops.

I have one dog, aged 11, (my other dog died 9th December 2002, she was nearly 17), two love birds, and a Rosella parakeet. Our rat died of old age too.

Interests

I have quite a few interests. Among them are animals, I have two dogs, two love birds, a Rosella parakeet and chipmunks. In the past I have had hamsters and a rabbit who lived for eight years. I have also had a ferret, a very friendly creature. I love animals of all kinds tame and wild, and it goes right down to insects and spiders.

Computers. (That goes without saying really).

I enjoy the garden, but I am not the one, in the family, that does most of the gardening.

I also like miniature things, dolls houses.

Cross stitch, and sewing, although I haven't done these for a while.

Another interest which I have is house plans, funny I know, but there you go.

I love programs about house decorating.

Another thing, not a lot of people know about me, is my love for poetry, children's poetry also.

Music and Films

The Beatles, Eric Clapton, I like some jazz, many of the early groups, the 60's. I also like Barbara Streisand. I suppose you could say I have a varied taste in music.

I like Sci Fi, and comedy films. Maybe some heartwrenching, like Before Women had Wings, (although I think the film had a different title), but nothing violent.

Books well, Rebecca, Before Women had Wings, The Pied Piper. (I don't know why I like the Pied Piper, because it is set in WW II).

Actors and actresses, well, Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Danny Devito, Arnold Shwarzenagger (forgive the spelling), Julia Roberts, Whoopi Goldburg, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has done a couple of films which I have really liked, 'Before Women had Wings', 'Beloved', and another film which I can't remember the name of, but will place it here if I remember. Oh I think it was 'The Colour Purple'.
