Sunshine award

Firstly I want to thank the lovely Jay from My family and other cricketers for recently nominating me for a Sunshine award. As my blog is award free I am not going to participate with it fully and will just answer the questions that Jay asked. Her blog always makes me smile as like many of us she has a busy life trying to keep many balls spinning in the air at once.

The beach in Weymouth - last weekend when it wasn't sunny!

The German town of Bielefeld

1) Where do you call home? Is it where you live now, where you once lived or a place you would like to call home in the future?  Where I live now, down by the sea in Weymouth is where I call home. Dorset is where I have lived for the past 31 years. I do however have a second place I call home. I spent most of my childhood in Germany and a part of me will still call Germany home too.



2) What did you want to be "when you grew up" or are you not grown up yet?
I did look into the possibility of becoming a food technologist or a dietitian but instead I was a ground air hostess for a short while. Most of my working life has been working in the NHS - but not on the front line.

3) Do you have a secret talent or a party piece? Not one that comes readily to mind!

My dream location

4) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
Hopefully retired and living by the sea!

5) Do you have a "claim to fame"?
I did write to the Queen at the age of 12 to complain about rats I had seen in a street on London. I did get a reply from her personal secretary!

6) Any regrets, however small?
I wish I had asked my grandparents more about their lives and family.

My son's band - he's the one singing

                                                                                
      7) Is there a band or singer you wish you'd had the chance to see live? Or may see in the future? Or is live music not for you? My son was in a band for a couple of years. Although they used to practice at our house we were never allowed to see him at a live gig in one of the local pubs. He was at the stage when it was too embarrassing to be seen with the parents. After a few years he decided that instead he would redirect his love of music to setting up his own successful record company with a friend, that they run in their spare time!

8) School, loved it or hated it? Or should have paid more attention at the time?!  I loved school and keep meaning to do a post about it!

Our garden in May

9) Favourite season? And tell me what that season is like if you're not in the UK. My favourite season has to be summer. I love the light evenings the warmth (hopefully) and the garden full of beautiful flowers, and the first pickings of newly grown vegetables and salad.

10) Did you really have the time to answer all those questions, do you have time on your hands or are you up to your neck?
I don't have much time on my hands, but I liked the questions.

Thank you Jay for thinking I was worthy of this award, and also thank you for everyone who reads, comments and share my blog you all always brighten my day!
