I was tagged in the 11 Questions Meme by Mummylish who came up with a rather fab set of questions for her fellow bloggers to answer!
The idea of the 11 Questions Meme is that you are given a set of 11 questions to answer by a fellow blogger, and then once you have answered them you have to think up 11 questions of your own to ask 11 other bloggers. Fun stuff! Here are my answers…
1. Do you collect anything? If so, what?
Other than amassing a rather large collection of books and mystery jigsaws, the only things I collect are fridge magnets and foreign coins. I don’t go out of my way to collect either of these things though – both collections are added to when we go places.
When James and I got together, we both had a little pot of foreign coins – change left over from holidays and field trips, as well as a few each that were given to us as children by various people. These separate collections were mixed together and, since our honeymoon, have been kept in a little ceramic bowl that I painted while we were in Mexico.
Our fridge magnet collection was started when we got together – we started picking up magnets as cheap souvenirs when we visited places & I love that I can now look at our fridge and there are mementos of fantastic holidays, our wedding, honeymoon & even fun day trips. The latest addition was put on the fridge this morning – a blue paw print magnet to celebrate Georgie’s first Crufts!
