It’s Official! We are Versatile…

Charles French

We have just been nominated as versatile bloggers by our friend and fellow Blogger, Charles French, and are tickled pink!
Also very pleased that our humble blog should have received this accolade, and if it raises awareness of the joys of blogging, so much the better.
We have always tried to keep our content interesting, so we are delighted to play it forward and nominate other bloggers that we have found to be a constant source of inspiration.

So, here we go.

We have to write a post and link back to the blogger who nominated us.
Display the logo. (that’s the easy bit, just cut and paste)
Post six interesting things about us. (should have been seven, but… )
Nominate up to fifteen other bloggers (and why we nominated them)
Inform them all of their nomination.

Seven reasonably interesting things about us…

Stubborn
We are both as stubborn as mules. Our brainstorming sessions should be televised, as they are always hilarious. I don’t really understand how we ever get any writing done! Same thing happens if we have to shop for anything other than food. Choosing anything, from curtains to wallpaper is sure to result in fireworks, as we can never agree on anything.

Technophobes
Considering what we do every day, neither of us likes computers. Anita refuses to touch ours, whereas I might beat mine to death with a brick one of these days. They are definitely sent by the Devil to drive us all mad.

Enterprising
Between us, we must have had a go at most things in our time. From Interior design, (painting and decorating!) Upholstery, Wedding dresses and cakes, to craftwork of every description. We have run several successful businesses at the same time as raising six children and two grandchildren between us.

Passionate
My passions include ancient myths and legends, Arthurian, Greek, and Roman Gods, and anything esoteric. Jaye is a nature freak and would live out of doors if she could, preferably by the sea. She also loves to draw, paint and grow bonsai, and actually has one that is older than she is.

Intrepid
In our youth, we travelled all over England, exploring the countryside and as many places of interest as possible. Old churches and graveyards, ancient monuments and pagan sites. Complete with all the kids and a dog or two.

Magical
Many years ago, we were both involved in the paranormal. We were thrown out of a magic circle for being better at it than they were. They were actually scared! Jaye was a medium for a while, but unfortunately, life and circumstance have chosen a different path for us. It is never far away, though.

We nominate:

All of the above deserve this award, for I always enjoy visiting their blogs…
