Swampy has set us a mammoth fun task this week. I'm going to concentrate on me, my family and travel~ of course this might change as I begin to write who knows because I certainly don't!!
A.... I'm mrs
Average, an
Aquarian, born before
Apollo 11 took
Armstrong and
Aldrin to the moon
mrs
A is not a high
Achiever but she
Adores her children and grandchildren, she thinks they are
Amazing (grand/mother's prerogative) and takes she pride in all their
Accomplishments. mrs
A would have been
Anonymous if it wasn't for all her blog
Amis. Oh and ms
A has been to
America, she has seen the inside of
Alcatraz, relaxed on
Anna Marie Island and visited the
Alhambra in Spain.
B........her
Boobs and
Bottom are too
Big! she doesn't like
Beer and gets easily
Bored which is why she had
Become an avid
Blogger (this also contributes to the
Big
Bottom syndrome). She was
Bred in
Berkeley and lived close to
Berkeley Castle. She learned to swim in a
Brook in the castle meadow, alongside the cows (literally) and now lives in
Bristol. She likes
Books and still has all her childhood
Books and those of her children I know she's pretty
Barmy(mad) but that's the way it is! She was planning a
Bike ride over Easter
But the weather is so
Bad she doesn't want to get pneumonia! Travel destinations include
Bigbury in Devon (first ever family holiday at the age of 16) and she had to take net and stiff nylon petticoats in a carrier
Bag (all the rage in 1960 even if they did take up so much room in the small car)and doesn't that skirt look hideous it was lilac and white!
Confirmation enough that she's
Barmy!! Her eldest daughter graduated from
Bournemouth University so she's
been there. She has also
Been to
Barbados,
Boston or
Boston cont,
Buffalo (great shopping Mall) and
Busch Gardens.
C........she has always
Considered herself a caring person, others, of
Course may not agree!
Championing the underdog at school (often got her into trouble) and her
Career has taken her from nursing to social services and education for
Children. Her husband thinks she is conformist and I suppose she does keep to the rules (well, maybe not always on fun monday!). She can be
Cantankerous (never you say!), is often
Cautious and because of her inferiority
Complex (from childhood~ families can be a pain sometimes) she is extremely
Competitive and likes to
Challenge herself. She enjoys family
Celebrations, such as
Christenings of her grand children loves
Champagne (yesterday, after a kir royal she shared a bottle of Tattinger Rose
Champagne
with Embee);
Cornwall was the holiday destination for her family for many years and she has wondered whether to move there! She has visited
Canada.
D.......she is not
Domineering,
Dictatorial or
Despotic,
Despite the fact that someone who shall remain nameless thinks otherwise! After all there are only so many times one asks for something to be done before one goes
Demonic. She gets
Depressed in the long winter months. She loves
Dogs and although she has not had a pet pooch for many years, there have been several much loved
Dogs in the family. She regularly visits
Dublin, and has been to
DominicaE......she is
Energetic (well sometimes) and can be relied on the help out in an
Emergency. She could never be called
Elegant or
Easy on the
Eye (sigh
Envy) more
Earth-mother!! She lives in
England one of the European countries and visited
Edinburgh in Scotland when she was twenty.
Echo Lake in the Fall is somewhere that she feels would be well worth another visit. She has a daughter who used to say '
Elepant' (I forgot this in last week's assignment so just wanted to get it in!!)

It rarely happens hence the

Ireland!
