A big thank you to the Brixton Housewife for nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
I started blogging about my garden mostly to alleviate some of the boredom from my soon-to-be-husband who otherwise was forced to listen to my constant ramblings about my new hobby. He may argue that it backfired; now he has to contend with constant musings about the blog instead! Since then I’ve branched out into food and cooking… I don’t think he can complain though since he gets to eat it all.
Anyway, the help and advice I’ve gathered from the collective wisdom here is immense – not to mention the comfort of knowing there are others out there like me! So thank you all. And it came as even more of a surprise that anyone else wanted to read about what I was up to!
So without further ado, here are 7 facts about me:
1. I have appalling taste in music
2. I want to run a marathon one day
3. I sometimes sing out loud while I’m out running and listening to music
4. I sometimes sing along while I’m in the garden with my phone in my pocket blaring out said appalling music (and yes, people can almost certainly hear)
5. I believe there is no problem in the world that cannot be made at least a little better by a good cup of tea
6. Most of the reason I love baking is because I love eating the leftover raw mixture
7. I am getting married next year and I’m VERY excited!
