I am the honored recipient of the prestigious Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award, presented to me by Jannine Gallant a terrific writer and a very good friend of mine from across the pond. I try to keep my blog updated as much as possible with guests, general chit-chat about me and my writing so i'm glad you haven't all found it so boring it reduces you to tears, lol!!
Receiving this award means sharing 7 random facts about me, so here goes.
1) I can eat four or five jam (jelly) doughnuts in a row and never feel guilty about it ;)

2) I live just half an hour's drive from the famous Georgian city of Bath in one direction and the gorgeous Cotswold villages in the other. I LOVE where I live!
3) I am a survivor of the 2010 French floods where overnight 25 people lost their lives.
4) I can't write unless the house is quiet. But I can edit when it's noisy.
5) The best bit of my dog is the space between his eyes and I kiss it as much as possible every day.

6) I am almost 38 years old and have never cooked a roast dinner...and feel zero shame! ;)
7) I am passionate about slavery, the American Civil and the civil rights movement of the 1960s - one day I will write the book of my dreams and it will centre around these issues.
Now that you all know how strange I am, I'm giving the award to these 7 stellar bloggers. Ladies, it's time to reveal 7 facts about yourselves and pass the sweetness.

I would also like to thank my good friend, Margo Hoornstra, for honoring me with the Liebster Award. This award is for a stick-to-it attitude, and while I'm only supposed to give it to 5 bloggers, all the above ladies have the perseverance to deserve this one, too!
I enjoyed learning more about you, Rachel. I would love to read that dream book of yours! I also love that you can edit when it's noisy. Thanks for the interesting read.
ReplyDeleteLove the donut one. We all need a secret vice!
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of things, where you get to learn little bits about someone. As a fellow dog lover, I loved number 5. I'm fond of the top of my dog's head. I call it her kissy head. Thanks for passing on the love to me! I'm honored.
ReplyDeleteLovely awards and very well deserved, Rachel!
