Hello?

Nice aspect! I live on top of a hill - water is only a feature when we have a leak..... and we have had far too many of those during the build, its about the only time I even get to wash the floor...... My ambition is to live by the sea

The Castle, which is the Castle La Roche in la Loire, is a joke of course.
In reality I live quite close to the sea. About a 20 minutes of cycling and then I can go for a swim or some sunbathing.
On the contrary of most of the other forummembers I do not have problems (anymore) with my skin, so sunbathing is no problem. My Psoriatic Arthritis though I can still feel coming through after e.g. an hour of spinning I remember my right foot again... :-)

Really, you sure you don;t live there, a fairy princess like you!! I love the blue hair, now don;t disillusion me more by saying that's not your real hair....

me I live in a house with a dragon on the roof... actually 2 dragons if you include the one wrapped around the chimney.... melly says there's a fire breathing one in the kitchen.... actually there are several among the bits and bobs on top of the cabinets, however I have a hunch he means me.... not really sure where the thing with dragons came from, apart from us being given the one on the roof at a building show right when we started this life changing adventure!! if we weren't building this house, I'd probably be in my old job, we might not be married & I wouldn't have met some of the interesting people I have over the past few years!! we have lodgers & students to stay in the house to help finance the build, so far this year, koreans, french, spanish, japanese, chinese & austrian students + our regular lodgers who are always a light relief!! It has been a real eye opener

Love swimming in the sea, its my fav pastime, (after eating chocolate that is) however life is a bit too hectic to allow many visits, my great regret with my psoriasis is that I love having bare feet, but need to keep socks on so flip flops are a no no, as they make set it off something rotten, I've tried to use socks with toes, but they are hard to get, as my feet are a typical english 6 & the toe socks are mainly asian & the average sized foot is less than a 5!! I know as my chinese student takes great delight in leaving her tiny tiny shoes around....

Hey I just found the forum cat !!!!!! Now when I need a lift, I know where to look!! thanks!!

Speaking of felines - I've just been putting flea stuff on my mob - managed one out of 4 before the rest magically vanished..... I'll get them later they can;t hide for long, they can't open the cat food.....

Have an exciting afternoon ahead - taking mother to sainsburys for the weekly shop - I know how to live......

Barbi that hat is outrageous!

I was thinking of saying that but daren't

[Barbi C]

that is nothing!! you should see my festival hat now, has lots of flowers & a sparkly butterfly attached too! That is the original photo at Isle of Wight festival in 2011, bought it at the oxfam tent - Melly hates it!!! which of course just encourages me! I wore it to New Forest show in the summer to see the Queen & got a lot of positive comments from the stall holders as I went round, Katie my friends daughter who was with me commented that people always smile when they see you!! nicest thing ever to be told! A 13 year old thinking your cool is the best!!

I discovered pink when I hit 30.... now nearly had 20 years of practice...... anyway I can't see anything wrong with it... I also have a rather natty pink tweed cap...

Wouldn't want to be behind you at the Cinema, and definitely wouldn't want to bump into you with a morning hangover.
