Dear friends. It's time for another Tell Us About challenge. This month it's Favourite Things, set by Australian blogger Jill from Grownup Glamour.
I'm honing in on one of my many favourite things: my love of stationery. If you want to offend me, dear reader, you would offer me a Bic pen to write with, and lined paper to write on. At the very least I expect a Pentel, although my pen of choice uses ink. From a bottle.
The problem is, I have fewer uses for stationery nowadays.
Dear friends. When Sue from Women Living Well After 50 set this month's Tell Us About challenge, I was thinking it would be easy. After all, I have often written about Personal Style.
I planned to write about how wonderful it is when you discover "your" style, and you dress in a way that pleases you. That's what my summary said, when I sent it out last week to the other bloggers.
Dear friends. Another month, another Tell Us About challenge. This time it's Family History, posed by Jill of Grownup Glamour.
I will spare you my family tree. I go back quite a long way in history with both the maternal Lovis's and the paternal Tyler's, but they were a very ordinary bunch. No royalty, baronets or celebrities.
I uploaded my DNA a few years ago, as soon as it became possible. DNA fascinates me. I'm always thrilled when long term cold cases are solved, thanks to evidence being carefully preserved.
Dear friends. Welcome to this month's Tell Us About challenge. The prompt was chosen by Penny from Frugal Fashion Shopper. Penny has become a good friend and we've met up several times. It's a good example of how " finding your tribe" can help you meet new people and make friends.
Today's post is all about forging friendships later in life.
Dear friends. It's time for the monthly Tell Us About challenge. It was the turn of Marsha from Marsha in the Middle to choose the prompt, and she went with Home Towns (or hometowns as our US friends prefer).
My home town is Plymouth, in the south west of England. It's well known for a couple of historical facts:
Dear friends. Welcome to this month's Tell Us About challenge, where 8 global bloggers interpret a prompt in their own way.
This time it's Legacy, chosen by Leslie from Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After. It seems to have most of the group scratching their heads.
Dear friends. It's time for the monthly Tell Us About challenge. This month's prompt, Travel, was chosen by Australian blogger Sue Loncaric of Women Living Well Over 50.
As far as travel is concerned, I must confess to feeling a bit of a fraud. Although I have been to 18 countries in Europe, plus Sri Lanka, Dubai, Canada, and 13 states of the USA, I don't consider myself particularly well travelled. The reason?
Dear friends. Curiosity is this month's theme for Tell Us About. It was the choice of Michelle from Following My Muse. It's a great prompt for me. My curiosity has made me an expert in all sorts of bizarre subjects. I even have an old, dormant blog called A Curious Girl's Guide to Life.
Dear friends. Welcome to this month's Tell Us About challenge, which is now even bigger. We have 10 bloggers taking part, from the UK, US, Australia and Portugal.
They all have their own spin on this month's topic which is Gardens and Gardening, courtesy of Penny from Frugal Fashion Shopper.
I love gardening and also visiting gardens.
Dear friends. The monthly Tell Us About challenge is back, and this time it's set by Mary Katherine of MK's Adventures. MK, a US based blogger, chose Whimsy.
It was surprisingly difficult. I had imagined there would be a lot out there on Google and possibly even a museum of whimsy I could visit. Well there are, two - but both in America.
Dear friends. We are thrilled to announce a new monthly opportunity for bloggers to showcase their creativity. I've been joined by Deb from Deb'sWorld (Australia), Mary Katherine from MK's Adventures in Style (USA), Penny from Frugal Fashion Shopper (UK) and Jill from Grownup Glamour (Australia) for "Tell Us About....."
