An Award ... my first one in years

Here are the instructions for passing along this award:

1. Thank and link back to the person that gave this award  : 

Dizzy C kindly awarded me the Versatile Blogger award, thank you so much.

2. Write 7 things about yourself

1. I'm the youngest of 4 daughters and have 4 children.



2. I'm terrified of snakes.



3. I love going to new places but seldomly enjoy the journey to get there.



4. I passed my drivers on my first attempt, but that was after driving without so much as a learners for about two years.



5. I loved living in Germany, but did not realise how much at the time.  Now I miss the lifestyle and the bakeries and the snow and oh my, the mountains.



6. I've always wanted to be a photographer.



7. On meeting me in person for the first time, women usually consider me to be stand-offish (and my best friends said they thought I was a bitch) however, despite most people thinking I come across as confident, I'm in fact awfully shy and self-conscious, but I have learnt to deflect it by coming across as confident.  It works I'm told, but once people get to know me, they realise that I'm a great big naughty softy.
