The Versatile Rules.

• mention the person who gave it to you

• pass it on to 15 other bloggers

• list 7 things about yourself

I have already mentioned Jane, if you haven’t visited her blog I thoroughly recommended that you do, she takes her readers on some interesting journeys.

All the blogs in my sidebar and my commenters are all worthy of this reward, so I will leave it at that.

Now onto the 7 things about me…

1. When I was a child, I had a severe case of the measles which permanently affected my eyesight.  I also have no sense of smell.
2. When I was a few years old, in the early evening during the summer months my Dad always walked me round the garden and told me the names of all the flowers.  I can remember him accidentally missing with the watering can on occasions and watering me instead.  I think this is why I have a love of gardens and flowers.
3. Once, I got my hand stuck in the mechanism of a playground ride.  It was a swinging plank that was hung between large frames at either end.  As I was trying to climb off, my hand slid into the swinging mechanism and I had to wait for it to swing all the way through the cycle before I could get my hand out.  I still have the scar today.
4. My favourite subjects at school were music and biology. I would have preferred to study botany, but that wasn’t on the curriculum because it was too difficult (well that is what we were told).
5. My Mum and I often used to buy the same clothes, although we never shopped together or saw what we each had bought beforehand.
6. I have eaten bear meat.
7. I am told that I have an unusually analytical mind for a lady.

Winning an award for commenting so much made me smile because I am often told how quiet I am, although people who know me quite well start sniggering when they hear this type of remark.  I have no idea why
