The Reality Blog Award


How fab is this!!

The wonderful Rosalind Adam has passed on the Reality blog award, which is hugely kind of her. (What! You don't know Ros? She's doing the AtoZ Challenge at the moment, so needs support. Go and cheer her on. Find her here.)

And here is the lovely image that comes with it:






I don't recognise myself in that description (and nor would you if you saw me in the mornings) so am deeply flattered. All I have to do is answer a question or few, so here goes:

1.  If you could change one thing what would it be?  

I would bring in genuine gender equality - giving women real opportunities to influence decisions about when to go to war, bankers' bonuses etc. We might spend a lot of time drinking tea and eating cake, but how much more civilised that would be than dropping bombs or paying ourselves silly money.

2.   If you could repeat an age what would it be?

I'd go back to the sixties. Ah, the sixties .... And would I want to relive it in the light of my aging experience? Not at all - I'd go back to the messy, noisy, optimistic wonderfulness of it with all the naivety of a 16-year old. (I had good knees then.)

3.  What one thing really scares you?

Cyclones. I think you know why! And, from now on, I'll keep my distance from tigers as well.

4.   If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be?

That's a hard one. Thing is, I'm very happy being me - even on days when I grumble about the weather, or the bankers, or my knees. Though if someone gave me the opportunity to stop the war in Syria, well, I'd take that.

And now, to pass this on to three more wonderful bloggers:

Jenny Woolf, at An English Travel Writer

Val Poore, at Watery Ways
