Well, I don't suppose I could make a hundred but more like twenty five at my age so I won't even try...

 

The main one I got is I'm still here as a survivor, thank God!!

I knew some of the things about you from your blogs and Facebook.  I knew we were both country girls, family orientated, loved the simple things like popcorn though I don't have mine with mints! My Mum's grandfathers family lived in the one English village for over four hundred years. I have lived in many place until I came back to my home 32 years ago, now i am a fixture. Thanks for writing 100 things about you.
