Hiya

Well this looks very much like my kind of forum and although I will be on intermittently, I am looking forward to browsing through and meeting other readers!

I'm a female, originally from Australia but currently living in the UK. I absolutely love reading but another favourite hobby is geocaching, which you could probably say I am addicted to. I will read most genres but tend to steer away from romance and science fiction (although Stephen King, Dean Koontz and James Patterson could tempt me)
Believe it or not, I found this forum when I Googled for the condensed version of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner that I once read and could remember only 85% of it. And here I am!

Welcome to BookTalk, krinkles!!

Thank you

Nice to meet you.

Thank you! I am glad to be here

G'day kirnkles. I was in your home country about 20 years ago and loved it. Wanting to get back, but who knows.

Welcome to Book Talk, you will find a lot of friendly folks here (one or two grouches), but mostly a nice bunch. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but dive right in, you will find something to interest you.

I have to admit, I had no idea what geocaching was, but I Googled the term and now know enough about it to be dangerous.

I am a retirned lawyer who currently raises beef cattle and am trying to write my first novel. Wish me luck.

Thanks Cattleman! I certainly wish you luck in your new venture.

Yeah, Australia is nice but I am definitely enjoying living in London. It is my second time here (first time for 2.5 yrs and now I have been here for nearly 2 years) and I could happily live here a while longer, yet.

Thank you for the lovely welcome. I will browse with caution

Welcome to BookTalk.org.

I'm not familiar with geocaching and after reading about it I'm still confused. Do you head to certain coordinates to find actual physical coins and log books to sign? Or is this all done electronically?

Thanks, Chris! You find physical containers and logs therein. It's a great way to get outdoors and also to find new places
