Leibster Award

This week I was very happy to be nominated by http://busybusybeejay.blogspot.co.uk/ for a Leibster blog award. I was given a list of questions to answer, so here goes...

Favourite room in the house?...Probably the conservatory, as I do a lot of my sewing in there, then the shed.

Are you a lark or an owl?...I love to get up early, but due to the day job I tend to stay up late as well!
Do you like cooking?...I do like to cook, but it's finding the time. I have been vegetarian for many years, so am quite interested in any new veggie dishes, and always on the lookout for new places to eat.

Favourite film?...I have always enjoyed Last of The Mohicans, and Sleepless in Seattle, and love to visit the cinema regularly.

Do you like shopping?....All depends on what kind of shopping.  If it's the thrifty kind, eg possible fabric finds,  I could cheerfully mooch around all day.  

Travel plans for 2013?...It has to be Cornwall,  a place I could live quite easily. Especially the south- west coast.

Dinner partner? ....Barbara Hepworth





Can you speak any languages other than English?....Not fluently I'm afraid, but passable French, with odd bits of Spanish, and Greek.

Which month is your birthday?....September

Do you have a favourite perfume?...I am rather partial to Vivienne Westwoods' Angleterre, and Naughty Alice, and also like Addict by Dior.

Are you tidy or untidy?....Bit of both really. Though I like to get things straight again when my sewing has finished.


Here are 11 random facts about me.

I have lived a while in California

I am an only child

I have a dog called Maddy

I prefer wearing silver to gold

I like to read in bed before I go to sleep

I have a Celtic ring tattoo on my back

What is your favourite song?
