About Me

Please make sure my last name (not my username) is clear on the envelope above my address. In Dec 2026 it will be my 20th anniversary on Swap-Bot!

I’m a British/Australian living in Berlin, Germany and I'm in my mid-40s. I read a lot, mainly fiction but also some informative books on a wide range of themes. With books, I like to have one German book and one English book on the go. I like cutting pictures out of magazines and sticking them in books to make new journaling pages. I used to enjoy playing bingo with my late grandmother, I have a nostalgia for it now, but nowhere seems to host it. I love flowers, household plants and learning about their benefits. One day I will have my very own garden and I'm looking forward to that day :) I enjoy traveling and look forward to exploring Europe more.

I am quite happy with my own company and never seem to run out of things to do.

I am not religious, but I do not mind if you are.

I love cat related things - especially black cats. I also love robins, starlings and small blackbirds. Ferns, pheasants, flowers, trees, nature, dried/pressed flowers. I'm always pleased to receive memo papers, stickers (adult), alphabet, puffy stickers, notecards, stationery papers, washi tapes, unused postcards that are not of a city. Virgo, carebears (80s style) and Moomins related things are welcome :)

Please don't feel you have to send me anything if the swap does not call for it.

I would love to receive anything with the common blackbird and robins on it. Also anything with hares or bees.

Favourite Season: all - They all have their good points. Favourite Colours: all, but I think I am drawn more to brighter colours.

I'd love to get pictures of swimming pools especially pools from above, I think they're fascinating.

Favorite Crafts

I like to try many crafts, I like to knit, crochet, sew, cross-stitch, black work stitching, napkin decoupaging.

I love sewing and after years and years I am still a beginner :) I don't do it as often as I'd like to.

I enjoy my junk journaling and making collages. I'd love to get letter stickers! But not number stickers.

Interesting magazine/newspaper cut outs, dicuts, things I can use in a junk journal. Anything cat related, carebears related, floral, nature, pretty.

Favorite Movies

The Planters film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfGvYLf99fg - A cute, strange, weird film.

Indie films! Suggest some from your country please! I generally will not watch Hollywood films, including Disney. I can no longer tolerate violence or sex-scenes. I do not see how it really enhances a film. Subtle and not in-your-face is always better. TruthStreamMedia on YouTube is always a favourite.

Likes & Dislikes

If the swap does not require extras, you do not have to send any! Otherwise, I am happy to receive any notecards, notepapers/memopapers, letter sets! I am quite open minded and am happy to read your happy moments as well as your not so happy.

I would not like to receive food items including teas. I prefer not to receive disney, hollywood, religious, manga, unicorn items. I am not particularly interested in blank country postcards as I don't know how to use cards from another city. I do love the "Greetings from" series though! And please NOTHING even slightly perfumed, as I get headaches from perfume.

Thank you! :)

Comment: Thanks for your letter and the stickers. That is so lovely that you have a lemon tree! My uncle has one as well. Yes, my kids are picky eaters. My son has ARFID and only eats a few foods in fact. My daughter is just a little picky thankfully.

I hope someone is enjoying it somewhere and it is not sitting all alone on a post office floor somewhere! Thank you for being so diligent in making sure I receive this swap! You are too kind. Lastly, thank you for such a lovely letter!!! I enjoyed reading it immensely <3

Comment: Your description of your weekend was enjoyable to read. I also make bread and at times, I am not very successful. So I am glad to hear your sourdough turned out nice. Trying a new restaurant that you can walk to is great. I miss living in a large city at times where this can be done. I am not very talented at the sewing machine but your comment how you upcycle clothes into bags, makes me want to learn more. Thank you for sharing and for the stickers

Received the resend in addition to the original swap for TGIF Weekend #471. Thanks for the resend and for the stickers. I like to bake desserts, but have not tried bread.
