Question Time & A Blog Award

   Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me to get feedback on a number of questions. I have received the Liebster Award from Jamie who has a wonderful blog titled Love Bakes Good Cakes so for 10 weeks I will be answering the questions she asked.  Thanks a lot Jamie. I have gotten this award more than once and passed it on to other bloggers. I love the new design of the award.

  The first question she asked was - Why did you start blogging?  Last week I had a similar question for my Question Time Post so I will move to question No. 2. What is your favourite meal? Roast chicken with stuffing, curried mutton, rice and peas, potato salad, vegetable salad and baked ripe plantains. A special holiday meal for me.

Bird Figurine Series - # 23

    I think if I had the chance to have another collection it would be seashells.  Many years ago my twin and I  saw a huge display of seashells in a hotel and it was so beautiful. My mother told me that when she was a little girl she used to collect seashells and her father would carry some for her whenever he went to Port Maria, the capital of our parish.  Well, the two birds below were made of seashells.  Janine and I were thrilled when we received them.

From Tea Towel To Curtain - Creative Monday Linky

     Over the years my twin and I received many tea towels as gifts from pen-pals.  They never ended up in a tray.  In several instances we turned them into small curtains.  Below is one of our favourites. Many will not be surprised that it has on 10 birds. I have decided to decorate my room with it this year.

Question Time

     Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me get feedback on a number of questions. This week's question - Why did you start a blog?  I started blogging in March of 2011 as part of my healing journey in coping with the loss of my identical twin sister Janine. I saw it as a way of not only expressing my experiences but also focusing on the many interests, hobbies etc. that my twin and I shared. It has further helped me to cope with yet another loss, the death of my brother Sutcliffe in 2011. Through blogging I have learnt to find peace in nature walks, photography and so much more. In other words it is therapeutic.

Question Time

     

     Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me get feedback on a number of questions. What do you drink at breakfast?  I am a big fan of cocoa and always have it with my breakfast. It seems to be an inherited trait as from research many of my ancestors on my father's side used to drink cocoa. My favourite brand is Roma Cocoa.
