Here is the questions I received

2. Your favourite book as a child?

3. What genre of music would you say reflects your personality?

4.  Favourite quote?

5.  Why did you start blogging?

6.  Describe your character  in 3 words

7.  What is you ‘signature dish’?

8.  If you could be any age, what would it be?

9.  Do you have a heroine?

10. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

11. Sweet or savoury?

 The period of history I would like to have had a taster of is the Blitz, I find it fascinating how peopled pulled together and made the most of what they had, to have a first hand taster of that life would be fantastic.

I loved the Enid Blyton Famous Five books, there wasn't one in particular just all of them and the Secret Seven, a very talented author who could whisk you away on an adventure while you were hiding under the blankets with a torch. I was an avid reader as a child something that has stayed with me.

The music depends on my mood at the time, I love all music from heavy metal, rock and roll, opera to easy listening I am a like all of them rolled into one.

Favourite Quote, At the moment it is " you cant make an omelet without breaking eggs" hubby is always saying it to me.

I started blogging as I wanted to record what we were doing, the lifestyle we had chosen to live and doing it through a blog meant family and friends could choose to follow it. I always wanted to keep a diary but always gave up by the end of January, doing a blog I find more satisfying as it becomes an interactive diary with others all contributing.

My character in 3 words that's a toughie, fair but stern that is how my son described me once.

My signature dish according to my kids and grandson is Meatballs and Tangy Tomato Sauce.

I like the age I am now, although I do wish we could this lifestyle when were 20 years younger.

My heroine is Elizabeth West (author) she wrote Hovel in the Hills, Garden in the Hills and Kitchen in the Hills, its her books that got me interested in a more self reliant lifestyle.

I am now living in my dream location, Camarthenshire Wales.

Sweet or Savoury I am both but never at the same time, unless its salted pretzels dipped in mango chutney.
