Hi' I'm Rachel, 34, married and a mum to 8 month old Amy! I'm just going back to work as a Special Care dentist after maternity leave... Eeeeek!!

It's probably quicker to say what I don't like, mainly heavy metal and really heavy dance and club stuff. Otherwise anything goes (although I'd rather not have to deal with Justin Bieber if that's ok with you?!).

My favourite groups and singers include Kate Bush, Beautiful South and Blackmore's Night.

My favourite genres are historical fiction, biography, fantasy and the classics. My fave authors are Philippa Gregory, Jane Austen, Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, Anthony Trollope, Stieg Larsson... The list is endless!!

Scrapbooking, cross stitch, rubber stamping, designing my own stationery...

I love Strictly Come Dancing, classic British comedy like Blackadder, Father Ted and Fawlty Towers and series like CSI, NCIS and House

Breakfast at Tiffany's before anything else! I also love Phenomenon, Pay It Forward, Shrek...

I'm a semi pro musician who plays loads of instruments and I also love acting and ballroom dancing as well as penpalling

I have a LATEX ALLERGY so please don't send me anything that contains it, for example rubber balloons.

Following on from this is a condition called Latex Food Syndrome. This means I'm allergic to foods that come from rubber-based plants, in most cases it's mild but please avoid the following:

Bananas (this is a fairly full on allergy) Melon Avocado Figs Chestnuts

Thanks!!

Any paper craft supplies, especially anything vintage!

Envelopes (I never ever have enough!)

Anything that has a link to music

Violins and trumpets - pictures, rubber stamps... Anything really

Tea

Coffee

Hot chocolate

Anything hand made with thought and care.

Amy, currently approaching 9 months, loves anything pink, fabric books and anything that crinkles!
