jasmine; what mythical creature do you wish actually existed? the fée, I'd go live with them in the forest and dedicate my life to practicing supernatural hijinks and fucking shit up for the humans.
lavender; soundcloud or vinyls? I suppose soundcloud gives artists an easier method of sharing with the world.
primrose; what book does everyone right now need to read? The Cooking Gene by Michael W Twitty.
lunar mist; do you like wearing other people’s shirts/jackets? They're always too small for me because I am a frost giant.

gardenia; what’s a promise you’ve recently made to yourself? To really mean it this time.
lion’s fairytale; would you rather be the sky, the ocean or the forests? The Ocean.
whirling butterflies; would you kiss the last person you kissed again? Sure, why not?
marmalade skies; do you plan your outfits? Not really, I just make sure my clothes are washed and ironed.
apricot drift; how do you feel right now? Gross from eating too much junk food.
everlasting daisy; what’s the last dream you remember having? My friends at a barbecue and for some reason everyone had superpowers but it was completely normal and no big deal so we just had this full on X-Men cook out.
queen’s cup; what are you craving right now? Water and a clear head.
lavender dream; turn ons/offs? On: Confidence, inner peace, knowing what you want. Off: Control, agendas, “white” lies.
water lilly; when was the last time you cried? why? I was given a gift and a note both of which were very very heartfelt, referencing years’ worth of actions I had no idea had left such an impact.
lily of the valley; did the one person who hurt you most in your life apologize? The person who hurt me most is me, being self sabotaging fool, I practice my apology every day by trying to be better.
winterberry; do you bite or lick your ice cream? Lick, biting ice cream sounds very odd to me.
honey perfume; favourite movie ever? I love the Ghibli films, ハウルの動く城, 千と千尋の神隠し, 魔女の宅急便, 風の谷のナウシカ, etc.
desert rose; do you like yourself? I'm working on it.
snapdragon; have you ever met or seen in person a celebrity? I'm not sure if this counts but I had lunch with Carla Bruni once, and twice I shared a fruitcake with Kofi Annan.
night owl; how many countries have you visited? I have actually genuinely lost count and don't want to miss anyone out.
heliotrope; have you ever been in a castle? I'm British, we can't move for castles.
creams and sky; what’s the craziest/bravest thing you’ve done? Moved to Toulouse on my own? Decided to actually look at myself and how much I was contributing to my own unhappiness? Trying to take responsibility for my self and be a better human?
lantana; what’s on your mind right now? I left my peppermint tea at work but water was a close second anyway.
pumpkin patch; what’s your zodiac sign? Earth sign, Taurus.
tulip; name 5 facts about yourself. 1. I love water; I'm a water baby, island child. Water is my favourite beverage, swimming is my favourite exercise, I love lakes, rivers, streams seas, oceans and waterfalls. Rainy days make me feel calm. Water is in my soul. 2. I love cooking; when I was a wee child my nan had a lodger from Hong Kong who was a chef, and he used to let me "help" him in the kitchen. So I grew up learning how to cook authentic HK/Cantonese cuisine. He actually runs a quite successful restaurant now too. 3. My first job was a Junior Librarian in a Grade 1 listed building; it had a variety of secret passageways and hidden rooms that I still think about a lot. Taking a hidden staircase up to a secret turret to repair books in the dusty sunlight is soul therapy. 4. I'm quite ambiverted; almost painfully shy with people I don't know very well, especially if I'm not feeling very confident that day. I have known this shyness to be mistaken for rudeness on occasion which has spurred me on to be more open a friendly even when I feel vulnerable, which has gone a long way to helping deal with the shyness. 5. As of the day after my birthday this year, I am now an uncle.
daphne; do you believe in karma? Yes, karma or the karmic rose by any other name. queen of the meadow; ever been in love? With humanity, life, the future.
wisteria; whom do you admire and why? Kind people. Anyone who has kept a warm heart through the hard times.
angel’s face; what was your favourite bedtime story as a child? The Jolly Witch.
remember me; did you make someone laugh today? My cats made me laugh, not too sure if I returned the favour just yet.
iris; do you believe in ghosts? Yes, or something of the sort we don't fully understand.
lilac; if you could go back in time which time period would you visit? Pre-Roman Britain.
caramel kisses; would you want to live forever? why/why not? No, I want to eventually move on.
primula; what makes you sad? Missed opportunities, being unable to help, misunderstandings, injustice.
rain lily; was today typical? why/why not? Yes and no, I spent a lazy Sunday with my family playing games so it was fun, but a typical day usually involved more work, working out, etc.
queen anne’s lace; who do you trust the most? My loved ones.
lady’s slipper; what did you have for breakfast today? Boiled rice with shredded veg & chilli sauce.
forget me not; do you have any regrets looking back in your life? I would like to have learnt certain lessons sooner and I am sorry for upsetting people.
lunaria; what’s your favourite fictional universe? I love so many, I think Tolkien's Middle Earth just wins it for me though, I have so many great memories both reading alone and playing or discussing with friends as a child, a teen and even now.
violet; favourite telly show? Of all time: I have a soft spot for the OC in all its ridiculous glory. Of the last year or so: Ugly Delicious. Honorary mentions: Supernatural, Springwatch, Summerwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch.
sunflower; share a favourite quote. Again, so many: "You're as good as you reciprocate." from Light's Everybody Breaks A Glass. "To be rather than to seem." is also one that means a lot to me, I think the good people of North Carolina may agree with me on that one too.
snowdrop; what does your ideal day look like? Waking up in a bright, comfy room, good hearty breakfast, swimming, spending time with loved ones, working on passion projects, cooking for everyone, relaxing under the stars.
tiger lily; do you have any hobbies? Swimming, cooking, reading, yoga, painting, writing, and outdoor activities. I love skating either board or blades and ju jitsu too, but I can't really do impact stuff anymore.
peony; share a small random book passage that means something to you. So many from Terry Crews Manhood and Anna Akana's So Much I Want to Tell You. I don't have the energy to go get them and type them out though because it would take me half an hour to even pick which passage to use. I'm already thinking of more books that mean a great deal to me.
tea rose; what’s something you always wanted to do but were too scared? I really wanted to move to Japan for a while to be with my friends, who are from Osaka, I went as far as to get necessary qualifications, studied Japanese and secured a job before I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that meant I needed ongoing treatment at home, I was terrified of moving to Japan because it is literally the other side of Eurasia but once the opportunity was taken away after all that work, I was devastated. I always imagined that doing these things that scare me would make me a better person and now I'm scared I'll never have a chance to right that missed opportunity.
honeysuckle; do you usually date people your age or older/younger? I operate on the 5 year rule usually; no older or younger than fiver years from my age, but I suppose I'd waive that for the right person?
sweet pea; who means the world to you? why? My loved ones, because friends really are the family you choose and there is no greater blessing than having friends who are your family and family who are truly your friends.
love in the mist; best books you’ve ever read? Again, too many, off the top of my head: Mineko Iwasaki's Geisha of Gion, Jung Chang's Wild Swans, Anhua Gao's On the Edge of the Sky, Jo Rowlings Harry Potter series, Tolkien's Entire works, particularly Beren and Lúthien. I also really love Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. I also read Nigella's cookbooks like novels. I literally just sit and read them. I could write whole books on books I love and why.
foxglove; who is your favourite cartoon character? The entire cast of Pokémon is my childhood.
magnolia; coffee or tea? Tea please.
crown imperial; would you rather be extremely rich or extremely loved? Love is richness.
snowflake; are you a dog or a cat person? Why is the word or in this sentence? Unless your allergic or afraid I don't trust people who don't like animals.
bell flower; what is your biggest addiction? Junk food. Easily.
cosmos; do you ever think about the galaxy? It fascinates me endlessly, I love watching Professor Brian Cox.
moonflower; what’s your favourite colour? Brown, blue and orange.
freesia; do you have a good relationship with your parents and siblings? why/why not? I think we communicate well and they are some of my best friends.
sundrop; are you a morning or a night person? Learning to be a morning person, definitely still more of a night person. I was born with starlight in my eyes and that was my first love.
poppy; have you ever dealt with a mental illness? Yes, from both a point of view of concern for loved ones and from the point of view of not even realising how bad my own mental health was. If you want to talk about mental health either yours or that of a loved one, no matter who you are please feel free to reach out. I'm here.
clover; how would your friends describe you? You'd have to ask them, but I really hope they'd say kind.
dandelion; do you consider yourself and extrovert or an introvert? I'm an introvert that has learnt to be ambiverted.
lilly; what’s something you love watching/reading but you are too embarrassed to admit you do? That's hard, I don't really feel ashamed of things like that anymore. Two people I feel are criticised a lot, sometimes rightly so, but who I still love because I'm aware humans, including myself, are fallible (and those throwing the stones are invariably living in glass houses) are Taylor Swift and Jo Rowling.
anemone; describe yourself in 3 words. Striving for better.
lotus; best memory as a child? Any time I was having fun with my loved ones.
angelonia; what is your eye and hair colour? Blue and a really dark auburn.
dahlia; do you like crystals? They're pretty I suppose? And they feel nice and cool.
buttercup; if you could change one thing in the world, what would it be? More love and compassion.
baby’s breath; what’s your Hogwarts house? Slytherin according to Pottermore. My friends had me pegged as a Ravenclaw in the pre Pottermore days.
calendula; biggest pet peeve? When people give it that "Gotcha!" thing as though they're irrefutably in the right, but they're still completely wrong and then they proceed to act like you just can't let an argument go, when all you are doing is refusing to be walked all over.
blanker flower; would you rather go to a cocktail party with your best friends or stay home and read a book/watch a movie with your pet? Both of these sound like great nights, I'd say the latter most of the time and the former for a change every now and then. Friday night I didn’t get home until 2am I wound down by sitting in bed with my cats watching The X-Files and eating chicken nuggets.
blazing star; share a secret. If I did, it wouldn't be a secret.
carnation; would you rather live longer or happier? Happier. Happiness is such and important thing to share.
petunia; who’s story is your biggest inspiration in life? why? So many people; I really admire my loved one because I know their struggles and still see first hand their kindness and compassion every single day.
bluebell; do you wear glasses? I do not.
nymphea; forest or river? I love both but I'll go for river.
orchid; do you like exercise? Exercise releases endorphins, for which I am very grateful.
pansy; do you like poetry? Poetry is great. I love it.
morning glory; any special talent that you have? You mean other than eating two entire tubes of pringles to myself in a single day? I can make icing flowers from scratch and bake a cake to put them on, thank to my nan.
