My lovely deer cupcake...

The lovely Nicole from My Teacups In Peony tagged me with the Deer Cupcake Award. When you get a moment you definitely should have a little wander over to her blog - it's very cute.

The Deer Cupcake Award asks me to answer the following questions: happy reading!

What is your current obsession? Definitely my new red Holga camera. Whenever I go anywhere I am constantly looking for what might make a good/interesting Holga shot.

Do you nap a lot? Far too much for my own good - whenever I can basically! I can sleep anywhere, anytime. Even on planes during takeoff.

Where are you right now? In my living room, listening to boyfriend practise guitar, and my African Grey parrot singing "Who Let the Dogs Out?" completely out of tune. I didn't teach her it - honest...!

What's one of your favorite movies? Goodness, so many to choose from. I absolutely adore Amelie - the whole thing is just whimsical and gorgeous, and I could watch it over and over again. I also love Little Miss Sunshine when I fancy a good giggle. And I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Oh, that's three movies - oops!

What's one thing you're looking forward to? Boyfriend and I are off to The Chelsea Flower Show in London on Thursday. Expect lots of photos of gorgeous gardens and flowers here soon!


What is your biggest fear? Fairground/carnival music. Just the sound sends shivers up my spine. And also not so much a fear, more of a general distrust of magicians, wizards and clowns.


What is your current favorite song? It's definitely not current, but pretty much anything by Fleetwood Mac makes me want to put on my dancing shoes. "Everywhere" especially makes me want to dance like an elderly great-aunt at a wedding.


What would you like to get rid of? Boyfriend's vast collection of cables and wires - they take up a whole chest. I don't know what any of them are for. Boyfriend says that one day they'll come in handy: if one ever does I swear I'll actually eat one.

What is your favorite thing to do on a weekend night? It would definitely involve four things:a glass bottle of wine, good food, boyfriend, and a movie.


If you had nothing planned to do today and no work, what would you do? A trip to London, shopping at the markets. And photographing landmarks (with my Holga of course).


If money was not an issue, what is one thing you would purchase for yourself? Definitely a house, with a garden to grow my flowers, vegetables and herbs. We live in a rented flat at the moment and we can't even put pictures up on our wall, let alone decorate... Our garden at present is a tiny balcony. Are you crying for me yet?!

What's your favorite drink? A nice cup of tea. Milky. No sugar. I've also known to be partial to a little big of gin...

If you had a different name, it would probably be: My mum and dad were hoping for a boy (I have two older sisters). Before I was born they picked out the name Robin, after my great uncle. Alas, I came out the womb without a winkle, and in a panic I was named after my dad's best friend's wife... The mind boggles.

Thanks Nicole! I tag White Rabbit now!
