AnnaGG

Hello. My name's Anna and I live in Switzerland. I enjoy cooking and baking. I am an avid reader, I adore classics (Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy and Jane Austen make my life easier) and get tutti-frutti with light historical romantic novels (a few of my fave authors are Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Mary Balogh, Lorraine Heath, Lisa Kleypas,Liz Carlyle, Suzanne Enoch....). Basically, I need to read as much as I need my food. Not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but I relax with crochet and knitting. I like some TV and when I am in the mood, I watch quality dramas, especially if British stuff. I don't practise any sports apart from a daily 90-minutes brisk walk to keep me fit. I play Chess, Backgammon and love cards especially Rummy and with the Italian deck I enjoy playing briscola, scopa & rubamazzo.

Musicals and appreciate some Opera as well (Rigoletto.... sigh!). On a lighter note, I enjoy 60's Oldies and 80's Brit Pop. When I take my walks, I need something to keep me up so AC/DC rock my world.

Too many to mention. "My Fair Lady" is the movie I think I watched over 1000 times.

Don't watch much of it but when I do, I enjoy documentaries and, again, British dramas.

I must mention that I like retro shows like "Bewitched" and "I love Lucy".

YouTube.... yes, I watch stuff on there too. Random vlogs and anything art/junk journaling related.

Well, I updated my profile just recently and would like to start swapping slams again. I used to many years ago and then life happened. I am completely out of the loop and am hoping to get back. I miss snail mail and all the good vibe that comes with it. :]

At the moment, Slams only (preferably questions, sign ifs and choose ones)

Anime (esp. the genres : Comedy [shonen], Love & Romance [shojo], a few Historicals) and all the fantastic masterpieces created by Miyazaki

daisies (dried-up, stamped images, themed notepads, you name it!)
ephemera
zentangling
