The lovely Polly has tagged me. I’m supposed to come up with thirteen little known facts about myself to share with you before passing along the tag, but to be quite honest I don’t really go in for completing tags and meme’s that often.
So I’ll bore you all with thirteen little known facts about me but I’m not going to pass it on. If however, anyone decides they’d like to complete the tag themselves, feel free to carry it on (a link back would be appreciated mind you) :)
- I have a slight addiction to cookbooks, take a look over in my cookery book library page and you’ll get the gist.
- During my school days I always aspired to become either a journalist or lawyer; somehow I ended up a nurse – don’t ask, it’s complicated.
- I live out in ‘the sticks’ (countryside) and it’s a love/hate thing; I hate not being able to walk to good deli’s, cafes etc, but I love that I can take my dogs for long walks and runs in the National Forest areas near my home.
- I am an only child.
- I’m never without a note pad and pen to jot down any food related ideas I come up with while I’m out and about, or my camera so I can take photo’s of any exciting discoveries or thought provoking items.
- I have a ‘theorist’ learning style.
- Mostly I read the news online but on a Sunday I always buy a paper – The Observer generally.
- I’ve been blogging for nearly three years, and believe me, the time has flown by.
- I have everything but the kitchen sink in my handbag – filofax, iphone, notepad, pens (multiple), umbrella, magazine or book (most often both), moisturiser, purse and makeup to name but a few items – clearly I don’t travel light.
- The only food I cannot abide is tripe, the smell alone makes me feel nauseous.
- Currently my favourite kitchen activity is bread baking.
- My favourite author is Roddy Doyle, his work never fails to ‘move me’.
- I am currently studying a mentorship course.

I enjoyed your 13 facts – and wholeheartedly agree with the cookery book issue! It seems I can just never have enough

Hi Grannymar, thanks for the comment.
Lovely to learn a little more about you.
Thanks Abbey.
How easy is it to develop a cookery book obsession? I combine it with my amazon addiction. Now that I have the app on my ipone I can order a new one in under a minute. It’s lethal.

An iPhone app for amazon? OMG I really mustn’t download that, it could be lethal
