The Versatile Blogger Award

 Thank you for the blogger award Annmarie! I will pass this on to five other bloggers and try and think of seven interesting things about me!

1. I am 45 years young (old) as my kids would say!
2. Talking of kids, I have 5 ranging from my 19 year old Twins, to my youngest at 7.
3. Tv - I don't get to watch alot, but when I do, I watch Eastenders or family history programmes such as 'Who do you think you are'!
4. Genealogy is one of my main hobbies, I have been doing it since I was 18 so I have gone back quite a few generations! Over 500 years!
5. Been crocheting since I was a child but stopped at about 22 when I got married until around 4 years ago. I didn't crochet one blanket for any of my children as it was never 'in' when they were young. Now it is very popular which allows me to indulge in my hobby.
6. My family and I all love carvanning, have been doing it for 12 years, since my fourth child was born. This year we travelled down to Spain with 6 other families, all in our caravans!
7. I have been with my husband for 28 years, married for 23!
