Saying Hello

Over the past few months I have met several new bloggers in the world of blogging.
It is always a delight sharing our lives, as we sit behind our keyboards, and connect with people from far reaching corners of the globe.

I ceased to participate in memes several years ago, I truly just didn't have the time to answer questionnaires, and the guilt of not doing so seemed to take the fun out of spontaneous blogging.
However, today I thought I'd share a few "about me" tidbits.
If you've followed my blog for any length of time you may well have read these previously, but for my newer friends, a little about me.......... 

 

 

One.
 

I won a writing contest in school, sponsored by The Cadbury Company.

The prize was a variety of free chocolate bars, for my class of twenty students over a period of one year.
Once a month our box of pure sweetness was delivered and we all turned into the school's Billy Bunter's.

I was voted most popular in class that year.

 

 

Two.

I spent all of my teenage years, riding and  show-jumping horses. I miss it with a passion.

 

 

Three.

I was the neat-diving champion of my hometown, I swam everyday.

 

Four.

I was an only child until I reached the age of ten. My closest companion was my dolly.

When my baby brother came along, I felt like the luckiest little girl in the world.

 

 

 

Five.

Despite my grandma owning and operating her own bakery for more than thirty five years, I wasn't blessed with the creating talent, but do extremely well with the partaking of.

Six.

I have worn my hair long, rather than short, for most of my life.
 

 

 

Seven.

Ever since being a small girl, I have wanted to live in a rose-covered cottage, I still dream of doing so.
*sigh*

Eight.

I'm a self-confessed tea addict, no apologies it came with the heritage.
