Invited, rather than Tagged

Rosie, from Corners of My Mind, has been tagged. Being a gracious sort of soul, she offered up an invitation rather than sending out tags. Thank you Rosie, I would like to take you up on your kind invitation and join in.

11 things about me (in no particular order)


I'm delighted that Prodijig won 'Got to Dance' (but I felt really sorry for Kazzam)
I love ground coffee (always Fairtrade)
I enjoy the outdoors; especially high places
I am a Christian - faith and life go hand in hand
I have minimal fear of edges, spiders, or the dark but, at the sight of an injection needle, all of the blood rushes from my head. (Stick it in me and I won't be responsible for the consequences)
My favourite colour is blue
I love the coast - especially if it is rocky with bays, coves and inlets
I love to camp; especially when it means waking up to the sound of sheep and the view of mountains (preferably without rain)
I'm not an ornithologist, but I get excited when I see a buzzard
I once drove a train
One of these fine days, I'm going to get round to booking the hot air balloon flight I promised myself for my last significant birthday


11 things Rosie wants to know


My favourite flower - apple blossom because of the delicacy, the colour and the memories of home
Last time I went to the theatre - Macbeth (and, oh my word, how long ago was that!!)
Tea or coffee? - Coffee, no contest!
Favourite film - Help! I have so many!! Probably, The Fugitive (Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford), but maybe Cry Freedom (Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline)
Book I'm reading now - The Backbone of England; Landscapes and Life on the Pennine Watershed by Andrew Bibby
