wpid-one-love-blog-award-two1
Thank you my dear friend…
I have to award this to 15 bloggers!! Yikes that is hard to do,
I cannot do it !!
The first 15 to comment it is awarded to you!  I follow on a regular basis, so many fabulous blogs, I cannot choose!
♥♥♥♥♥
I also have to tell you 7 things about myself that you do not know.(this is hard too!)
1…….I was born in Northern Ireland , but I have half Irish (mums side) and half Maltese from my dads side.  With a sprinkling of English and Scottish. I am British! I could be Irish if I wanted to , BUT there again I could apply (I believe) to me Maltese!
2……I disliked school and to be honest wasn’t the best pupil in the world ..ha ha , (hope my grandchildren don’t take after me)
3…….I try to keep my bedroom tidy, but it always ends up looking like I am an untidy teenager :-)
4……..I need to find  a job , to fulfil my travel dreams, I never knew I wanted to travel so much ..
5….. I had my first child at the age of 18, and my  2nd at the age of 26.. .I wonder how many of you know my age LOL .. also have 4 grandchildren and one on the way!
6….. I took my first flight alone in June 2010 to Montreal, I was fine, just didn’t like having no one else to talk too. I was sat next to one young man who put his heads phones ASAP, so I just watched films.
7….. I travelled to Paris in August 2009 and CAT sat for two weeks, I stayed in the apartment on my own in the 7th arrondissement  .. I had only met Elizabeth  for a few hours back in April , and met the husband that evening and off they went on their cruise two days later!!! But I did have my new blogger  friends in the City and suburbs!!

Leslie took loads of photos , so I am sure
once she is back home and settled, they will be up
on her blog!! She is a great writer, and her photos
are fab!

But in the meantime, we met and went for coffee, in
Cafe Nero (my fav) and then when we left I changed my route
and so glad I did .. I found a new place to look around
and even purchase gifts!!
Oxford Old Fires Station has been turned
into …
Crisis Skylight, offering a Cafe, Art Gallery and a
beautiful gift shop …
Crisis is the National  Charity
for single homeless people.
