the rules are that i now tell you 7 things about myself and then pass on the award to the blogs that i feel deserve a special thank you. If it is you, you then do the same!1 - I used to work at the Houses of Parliament as an education officer before going back into teaching. It was amazing building to work in. I never got over the feeling of amazement when walking round and passing famous faces.
It is a truely amazing building - so full of history and drama. I could bore you forever with facts...
2) I am a vegetarian and have been since i was 13. It would have been 9, but i was living with my gran for a year and the horrid teacher (Mrs Ballace, still remember her!) said a letter from my gran wasn't good enough and i had to eat meat at school. So i tried again later!
3) When i was 13 i lived in France with my mum and one of my sisters. We lived in Rouen which is famous for Jean of Arc. (she had red hair)
it is a very beautiful city - but i have not been back!Maybe it was my age but i really did not like living there and i failed french later at school. oopps
4) I love Pee Wee Herman! i think he is so funny and i dream of living in a house likes his in the film Pee Wee's big adventure.
5) Of course as anyone who has read my blog i love all things vintage, the music, the fashion, the films. One of my favourite is Brief encounter..
6) i have 3 tattoos and am planning number four...it is not the one below, but i do quite like it!
7) And last but not least - i have ginger hair! I was really teased as a kid and called an Urangutan. Now i love Urangutans as i feel we have a ginger connection! My other nick name was galen from The Planet of the apes...
i actually get very cross about insult to red heads now and its one of the reasons i called my business miss gingers -
yes - i am red and proud! so a finger to all the people who teased me!
now onto who i would like to pass the award onto.

Thank You so much darling! That is so kind of you love Annie xx
ReplyDeleteCrikey lady - I don't think I have anything as interesting as yours for my 7 things!
ReplyDeleteThank you for thinking of me, I will ponder and post tomorrow xx
I am loving the idea of a stitching tattoo - there are some crazy and painful ones out there - full size Singer sewing machine anyone?!
Congrats on the award. Thanks for sharing your fun facts and your photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for thinking of me! I, too, do not like people who tease redheads, I had a generous gleam of copper in my hair in my youth as did my hubby (bless him, he is mainly grey now, but his sideburns are still ginger!)

Thank you so much for my award! Lovely to read your 7, now I'd better get my thinking cap on :) x
ReplyDeleteHey :) Thanks so much for awarding me this - very humbled. However, I have won this one already - you can see my rambling 7 answers here:- http://landgirl1980.blogspot.com/2011/01/award-chance-to-snoop.html
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
ps) I am SO jealous that you used to work at the HofP!
I was called gingernut/biscuit at school! My hair has just got redder and redder over the years, now I dye/tint it to exaggerate the redness, a readhead and PROUD!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award, you Ginger Beauty you! I love red hair even though I'm a brunette. I've always thought red hair is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming of my next tattoo as well. I really like that idea...I'm thinking of a vintage singer and buttons hmm...decisions, decisions!
I was called Duracell at school ...copper coloured top. I'm much darker now and I've never worried about my hair colour, stuff them.
ReplyDeleteLove your facts, what a nasty teacher making you eat meat. Thanks very much for passing on the award, I will post about next week xxxx
Congratulations on your award & thanks so much for passing it on to me :) Love your facts, kids can be so cruel can't they!. I have brown hair but used to dye it red until I got fed up with it fading so quickly and having to re-do it every couple of weeks. Nothing wrong with being a red head :o)
