11 Random facts about Myself
1. I was born (a long time ago) in Pakistan, when it was still British India.
2. Orphaned at 10 months, I was reared and loved as a full family member by an Aunt and Uncle, who happened to be tea planters in South India.
3. I am half-English and half Scottish, so thoroughly British.
4. I have lived and worked in Alberta, Canada (1975-1987) and South Africa (1968)
5. Recently widowed (after nearly 43 years being married).
6. I have two wonderful daughters and a marvellous son-in-law, so am still a very lucky person
7. I also have one canine and three feline grand daughters - who all give me cause for great laughter by their actions
8. I loathe spiders, snakes and most creepy crawlies.
9. Enjoy meeting new people - both in real time or virtually.
10. Like " playing" on the internet, but don't always know what I'm letting myself in for
11. Blogging is a fairly new interest, but do enjoy sharing my craft stories with those who kindly follow me
