From humble beginnings in the ever-beguiling North Riding I've taken a rather random path through life, trial and error being my tourguide of choice. After a spot of, shall we say, mind-broadening travelling I wound up at Loughborough Uni where I met an awesome group of friends including one Mr. Smart with whom I now live in a cottage on a hill in Belper, Derbyshire. We hope to get married in 2013.
