Profile for Bella Fortuna

The power, beauty and sheer magnificence of words struck me at the age of 17 when I was lent a copy of “Narziss and Goldmund” by Hermann Hesse. Art at it’s most sublime!

The Bee Gees’ “Words” describes my feelings so superbly – “Its only words and words are all I have to take your heart away”. 

Me? You want to know about me? 

I was born and live in Southwark, London , England about a couple of miles from Tower Bridge . 

My cat allows me to share his flat in return for some domestic favours. I open and close the window blinds when requested and provide him with treats of organic king prawns, melon and paprika Pringles (I prefer the Hot’n’Spicy version myself). 

We live very close to the River Thames (‘my River’) so, although close friends doubt my sanity, they still find excuses to come and stay. And they are unbelievably nice! They bring me treats of little notebooks, and pencils, and pretty stickers.
