Seven things about me: 

I love music... genre doesn’t really matter; it really depends on the song.

I love to cook/bake...however; it drives my husband around the bend when I try out new recipes on guests.  I even like to spend a few blissful hours reading cookbooks, that makes me weird, doesn't it?

I don’t like to shop....I know, that  really makes me totally and unquestionably weird, doesn’t it?

My favourite saying is...if you have the choice to sit it out or dance, always dance.

I love wine...red, white, doesn’t really matter, love them both.

My current wish...a vacation, with my husband, in Italy.

I have two kitties...both little girls, Emma and Kashmir  (oh...and two wonderful grown children...one of each, almost forgot them!!)

My choices for the "Stylish Blogger Award" -

I have chosen the following blogs; they all have a real appeal to me and all for different reasons.  There's quite a mix between brand new, well established, male, female and younger and older.  Whatever the reason I think they all represent outstanding talent!!
