11 random things about me...

*  I'm very gullible and believe everything people tell me..which was/is oh so sweet for my little bro and sweetest Stu!

*  In my 20's I decided to live in a place called Dingle in Southern Ireland because a dolphin called Funghi lived there ...I reckoned if he liked the place then I would too..(and I was right!)

* Chutney gives me the baulk.

* I really can't draw horses. 

* I am accident prone, my mum still sweats nervously if I enter a shop selling ceramics.

* I got told by the Docs 6 years ago I'd not be able to have any more children naturally....Skye (my recently turned 4 year old daughter) obviously felt differently :)

*My mum owned a craft shop when I was growing up...I used to pick raspberries in the summer holidays to earn money so I could spend it there.

*Moany people are my least favourite.

*If you asked me what kind of car I drive I'd tell you its a silver one.

*Music instantly makes me feel better...

*I can't follow a recipe.. no matter how hard I try

Here's the questions from Colette:

tell me your favourite -

food, memory, book, smell, colour, handmade gift, music, place, fictional character, hobby and cake.

food: cakes

memory: one that popped into my head is the night after the birth of my youngest. Stu was zonked out next to me  after the strains of filling the birthing pool (ha!) My eldest who was 8 at the time had made a little nest on the floor at the side of our bed as she wanted to stay close, and my 3 hour old babe lay next to me feeding...sweet sweet love :) 

book: Red dog by Louis De Bernieres
smell: nag champa incense sticks
colour: turquoise

handmade gift: an advent calender my mum made. It started out 15 years ago as one I could take on my travels but has since been adapted to fit family life!
music: anything loud with a dirty bass :)
place: in nature
fictional character: gandalf. he da man!
hobby: dancing in my livingroom
cake: cupcakes with huge lumps of butter icing...yummmm.

ok here's my questions:
being of the lazy disposition I'll take the easy route too...
if you were a ...flower, animal, biscuit, drink, tree, language, colour, art supply,  superhero, musical instrument , piece of furniture.... what would you be..... ?!

an album for travelling memories
