My name is Nicola, I’m 27 and I live in Richmond with my boyfriend Gavin.
Things that make me happy are (in no particular order): crochet, bees, writing, Dusty Springfield, old things, gin, shortbread, tapirs, and managing to keep a houseplant alive.
I also enjoy ranting and puns. Sometimes at the same time.
I started this blog as a place to spout off about the tube, waffle on about crochet or wax lyrical about Kew Gardens for when I can’t find a human being to listen. If you find this and you’re one of my real life friends, please don’t laugh at me for occasionally being pretentious! 🙂

A Ranson Note 
We share a lot of similar tastes; all those things would go on my list, except gin (I like it, but there are addiction issues in my family) and tapirs – not that I don’t like them, but I’d find it hard to select one animal over another, though I love orangutans, gibbons and elephants… and tigers, wolves, crows, badgers…
Coffee or tea?

Excellent! I love tapirs because they are hilarious and have great little snouts and when they are babies they are stripy. Coffee in the morning and tea in the evening! 🙂

I just watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJm6nDnR2SE
and I see what you mean about tapirs. Maybe I should make them my favourite animal 🙂

Haha I’m glad you agree! They should be everyone’s favourite animal 🙂

We could start a Society for the popularisation of tapirs. First we have to raise funds for a plush office suite with a top-of-the range coffee machine. No-one will pay any attention to us if we don’t have a posh coffee machine – and chocolates. We need top quality hand made chocolates, or they won’t take us seriously 🙂

Hi, you visited (and liked) a couple of posts on my blog recently. Thanks for that. Can’t say I favour Tapirs over any other sort of animal, and we don’t get them down in Cornwall much, but if you liked it down here then you must be OK. 😉
