My name is Emma; I'm 22 years old and from Yorkshire, England. I work for HSBC bank and am hoping to do a cake decorating course in college in September! I have a boyfriend of almost five years who I love to bits. My favourite hobby at the moment is gardening! I have a vegetable patch in my back garden where I'm currently gorwing some late varieties of some veggies including peas, carrots, turnips, chinese cabbage, spinach and broccolli.

Baking, cooking, reading, writing, swimming, penpalling, blogging, surfing the 'net, spending time with friends and family, Stevie Ryan, taking photographs.

I'm obsessed with Gothic things, and love the 50's look. I am an absolute food addict; I love doing recipe and food swaps and will eat pretty much anything (so long as it's not banana flavoured!)!

I've only just joined swap-bot but I want to do more recipe and sweet swaps, particularly as the swaps have a lot of people from the US and I really want to try more sweets (or should I say candy!) from the US. I'm dying to try a twinkie!!

I'd also love magazine cut outs from gardening magazines or printoffs or small passagees from books or just your own advice on vegetable gardening, and swaps for seeds and cuttings for your favourite vegetables.

Anything banana flavoured, or recipes with a lot of lemon/lime in. Also, unless you're from the UK please try to not send me recipes with branded ingredients them, like coolwhip or something, because we don't get it over here. Also, I don't really want recipes where the main ingredient in them is "a cake mix" - that's cheating! Hehe! =)
