Introduction I am 81 years of age,having been born in 1932. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a bit of an all round twit. Over the years I have done quite a lot of family genealogy and unearthed some family secrets which has been great fun. I am married with a great husband (second time around has worked for me); I have a daughter and a son, four granddaughters and two grandsons, and three fantastic great-granddaughters. I have had two total hip replacements (June '08 and January '09) but as I have an extremely bad back (neck to tail) and a knee that won't behave, I still can't get about very much so am a stay at home. Maybe that is why I decided to take this drastic step and begin my own blog. Will I keep it up? Goodness alone knows, only time will tell but here goes anyway. I have few followers but the few I do have are very precious to me.
Interests Family, genealogy, reading, crochet, my computer, my husband and our cat
Favorite Movies Dances with Wolves; Dr Zhivago: Ryan's Daughter; Storm Boy; Bambi;
Favorite Music Varies from old type rock and roll through to many of the classics. Love to listen to Roger Whittaker sing his ballads.
Favorite Books Books by James Patterson, Lee Child, Sue Grafton and many more of the same ilk.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

I have no reason to believe the earth is flat as when I look into the distance I can see the curve of the horizon.
