Well, I've been tagged, my first one, by the very naughty charlotte of fancypicnic, (I'll get you back)!Seven things, you may or may not want to know about me:
1. I could not survive without three coffees made in my cafetiere each morning, life would not be worth living without my coffee.
2. I am an absolute stickler for good manners. Infact, I probably say 'thank you' and 'sorry' far too often. I am the 'manners police' at work and make all the students say please and thank you! Can't abide arrogance!
3. I really enjoy any books about the Tudor period ~ such an incredible era of British history.
4. I am a gardening fanatic but only in Spring, by June the gardening 'urge' has passed me by. Perhaps when I get my small orchard, large veggie plot, and riverside garden, I may spend more of the year gardening.......well, we can all dream!
5. This is going to make me sound very old, but I love being at my caravan and especially where it is situated in North Herefordshire.....such a beautiful and unspoilt park of the country.
6. I hate the fact that now I am in my late forties, I have lost hair where I want it and have gained it where I don't! Too much info????
7. Loathe food shopping ~ my husband has to do it. I am not too bad in a small store but put me in a very large Superdupermarket and I get completely overwhelmed. I fill the trolley with all sorts of stuff and then have no room for essentials. I find the whole experience completely exhausting and I always forget something essential. Pathetic!
Well that's me done, now for seven other poor unsuspecting lovelies:

Glad you liked 'lalaland' I only found out it existed recently and was surprised to find it had been on You tube for 10 months already, some people think it's a bit dark but I think it's beautiful and that haunting music gives me goosebumps every time

Very nice work....I love the way you combine materials. I'll will visit again
ReplyDeleteDelightful work, I adore it!
ReplyDeleteAnd as for going to the Supermarket... Me too! I am fine at the tiny local store, but put me in anything bigger and I am like a deer in headlights. Way to many choices, and it takes me forever to get through a basic list. I need to lie down afterwards! Dear Hubby does 95% of all grocery shopping, bless him!
Oh No! Another lovely blog to add to the list.
ReplyDeletewell, I didn't notice any hair or bald patches either so thats one I've refuted..

ReplyDeleteWhat is this tagging business? I was tagged too, but I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do now.

ReplyDelete7 things you may or may not want to know about me
1. I like strawberry flavoured things but I don't like strawberries at all.
2. I have a degree in Linguistics
3. When I grow up, I want to be my parents
4. I really enjoy food shopping - I like looking at what is in other people's shopping trolleys and picturing them at home with it.
5. I came first in a hopping (on one leg) race when I was five and we (my class at at school) all ate green jelly afterwards.
6. I'm not that fussed about chocolate. I'd rather have cake any day.
7. Up until I went to university, I wanted to be an actress in period dramas, but I didn't (and still don't) want to be a celebrity.
By the way, I adore this new piece of yours. It's definitely a new favourite of mine :o)
Mogwaii ~ Thank you for your comment ~ so kind.
ReplyDeleteTagging, I believe is, you list seven facts about yourself and then choose seven blogs to tag...for them to do the same!
I love your new piece, it's so delicate and beautiful with a great combination of textures - just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag! I hope my 7 things are ok :-)
This is such a lovely piece Viv - I don't think that you have made anything I don't like!
