One day, while preparing dinner, I sang loudly and slightly off-key to Lady Antebellum's Perfect Day and heard the story behind the lyrics. It wasn't long before I sat down behind my laptop to write it all up. Soon other songs followed and then some of my own. If you happen to stumble upon this blog looking for something unrelated, I hope you take the time to read, comment (be kind I'm a cancer!) and maybe even suggest a song to write about; you'd really make my day.

My words

My name is Danielle. I'm Dutch and currently live in the sunny south of England. I'm also a mother, wife, friend, daughter, sister, teacher, dancer, photographer, blogger, reader, writer, gardener, diy-er, tea drinker with a sweet tooth and have a love for exploration of the traveling kind. I can't sing for my life, but I do love a good song.

I also love a good story, any kind of story, and I love sitting down with cup of coffee or a glass of wine, watching the world go by, speculating about people. A bit like Karen in The Poison Tree, although that's where our similarities end, plus I didn't really enjoy that particular story much. I do love reading Cornelia Funke's stories and I have a soft spot for Pride and Prejudice, I think Terry Pratchett's the bees knees and I'd happily foster Harry Potter.
