One Lovely Blog Award

 

Thank you Emilia Leigh, London based writer, blogger, and dreamer, who nominated me for this ‘One Lovely Blog’ award. Her blog is at http://www.emilialeigh.com/the-last-beginning/blog I’m delighted to receive this award as it’s my first as a blogger, so thank you again Emilia.

To fulfil the conditions of the award, I have to thank the person who nominated me, share seven facts about myself, and then nominate other blogs I love to read. I also have to give links to their websites.

I’ve already thanked Emilia who is writing a novel and has an interesting blog where she posts the events of each month in photos. Now I’ll just get on with the seven facts about me:

1. I’m not a great fan of romantic novels, although I once won a competition on Radio Merseyside for writing a romance plot.

2. I resumed my education at the age of 40, taking ‘O’ levels in English, consumer law,  and maths. I then  took ‘A’ levels in government and politics and sociology before starting a degree in sociology. I quit my degree course after the first year owing to family commitments.

3. I have a fair skin and so I’m likely to burn in the sun. I’ve been diagnosed with Bowen’s disease which means I have to watch for changes in my skin that could lead to cancer. I’ve had several small growths frozen or removed.

4. I hate talking on the phone. I like to read body language and facial expressions when I’m conversing with people.

5. I love bright jewel colours; my favourite is purple.

6. I’m 5 feet 1 inch in height.

7. I’d rather live in the countryside than in a town or city.

Now my seven facts are revealed, all that remains is for me to name my nominees for the ‘One Lovely Blog’ award;  so here goes.
