I've been honoured with a blog award!
I am very touched and honoured to have received my very first blog award, from good friend and fellow RNA member Rachel Brimble. Receiving this award means sharing 7 random
facts about myself, which is a challenging prospect. This is what I have come up with:
One of my favourite meals is monkfish with garlic and new potatoes. I first ate it in a little pub at the seaside on the west coast of Ireland and I've loved it ever since.
I've been to some amazing places including The Arctic, the rainforest and on the roof of Ely Cathedral's lantern tower.
My grandfather was a poet. I love reading poetry but I can't write it.
I'm a big admirer of birds of prey. My favourite is the Red Kite.
When I took my Spoken English certificate at school the book I chose to read aloud from was Georgette Heyer's The Talisman Ring. I passed with credit!
I can't write with the TV or radio on as it interrupts my concentration but I can write listening to music.
I come from a family of gardeners. Sadly I haven't inherited their talent!
I'm passing on this award to seven other blogs I think are great:
An honourable mention to Julie Cohen's wonderful blog too; I know she has already been nominated!
To share the love with readers as well as bloggers, I'm offering two copies of Dauntsey Park to commenters who share a random fact about themselves here on the blog. I'll make the drawing on Monday. Happy weekend!
