My first blog award


Thankyou Laura from my summerhouse for my first blog award.
 I love her blog , she is just so lovely and has been very supportive of me as a (relatively) new blogger .
 Thankyou again  Laura.
 Im thrilled that blogging has given me the opportunity to meet so many beautiful and talented people.

Ok so im supposed to say 7 things about myself then pass it on to other bloggers that inspire me.
Here we go.

7 things

1~  Im the youngest of 6 kids, 3 girls 3 boys.

2~ We were brought up Catholic (surprise surprise) And although I no longer practice I do have a thing for religious iconology in decorating. Unfortunately its a look Ive not successfully achieved.

3~ Whilst building our childhood home we lived for a time opposite the old orphanage grounds in Catholic housing. Id spend my days hanging out with the priest and the Nuns who lived there, we were lucky, they were all genuine and lovely people.They adored me and I them, I was 4.  I remember it as one of the happiest times of my childhood.

4~ I grew up on a 16 acre property. Im still not used to living in suburbia.

5~  I come from a theatrical background (musicals) my parents were (and still are) heavily involved in the local musical society since before I was born. I loved performing from an early age and started doing shows as soon as I was old enough to audition.
I haven't been on stage since my children were born.

6~

7~ I don't like raw tomato.

Ok.. so if you are still with me after all that rambling here are the lovely fellow bloggers that Id like to pass this award onto.

  4. Oh this is so sweet of you Megan. Thank you very very much, I'm glad you enjoy reading the piffle I sometimes write!! Right back at you, you inspire me so much and I always enjoy catching up with you. I've enjoyed reading the things you've shared about yourself. I'm confused about the raw tomato bit though - my hubby doesn't like raw tomato either, but loves tomato sauce and eats anything with tomato in it like spaghetti sauce or lasange etc, or cooked on pizza.

  5. You are most welcome Elizabeth and thankyou... Lol,yep I know, the tomato thing is a bit odd. The thought of a slice of fresh cut tomato makes me utterly shudder but squish it up add some basil salt pepper and warm it through and Ill have seconds, I use heaps of tomatoes in cooking too. go figure. xx
