Liebster Awards III, IV, V, VI and VII

I was kindly nominated for 5 Liebster Awards in just over a week consequently here’s my quintuple amalgamation. Please forgive me.

I was lucky to be chosen by the following fantastic bloggers:-

1. Stuart who blogs about life, love marriage and…sex over at Something to Stu Over

2. Joshua who blogs about his brliefs over at Joshua’s Blog

3. Young woman of mystery Dragon Warrior who used to blog and draw on the wonderfully named Den of Dreams.

4. Another young woman of mystery, Tatterhood who muses over at Tatterhood.

5. Steve who blogs, along with his cat Muffin, at Steve’s Country.

Each of these bloggers writes wonderfully well, with beautifully illustrated (photos and/or drawings) posts and has an interesting point of view. Do go and check out their blogs and, if you don’t already, please give them a follow.

Hold onto your hats, this is a long, really long post. In fact you may need a cup of tea or coffee, and cake, to help it go down!

The Rules:

1. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you.

2. Share some facts about yourself.


4. Nominate some more lucky bloggers and make their day.

5. Ask your nominees further questions.

11 Facts about myself:

Honestly, after all these awards I must now be an open book and I’m scrabbling around to tell you something I’ve not already mentioned. How about:

It’s my proud boast that I’ve never gotten a tattoo, changed a nappy, been on a hen-do, played any video games or watched any of the Star Wars or Harry Potter movies!

Stuart’s Questions:

1. What is your favourite love song and why?

I don’t really do favourites of anything. But if I had to pick something it would be Memory by Barbra Streisand.

2. Do you feel that love goes much deeper than what the world is teaching our children?

I wouldn’t know and it’s difficult to comment because I don’t have any children.

3. Are you currently blogging about what you feel your calling is?

I blog about what takes my fancy because I can. My calling quite clearly is to make life as easy as possible for my husband. I tell him when he dies and goes to heaven, he’ll be sorely disappointed.

4. How would you describe God?

A comfort blanket, and I mean that in a good way.

5. Growing up what was your favourite game to play?

Football, cricket, table tennis or tennis with my Dad.

Neither! I was a leader, never a follower.

10. Are you a get in and get out shopper or are you one that has to look at everything?

Depends why I’m shopping. If it’s for food, I love looking round the market (in France) before deciding what to buy. Anything else, I do my research beforehand, buy what I want (preferably on line), otherwise I get home asap.

11. Do you prefer a crowd of people or alone time?

I hate crowds but it’s nice being with a group of friends from time to time. Generally I don’t enjoy group activities, it’s with my husband or on my own.
