Scrap!

I was thrilled to be given the honest scrap award by the delightful Daily Connoisseur whose blog I always enjoy and who has always been very kind to me here at a Rose Beyond the Thames.

So here are ten bits of scrap about me.

1) I am an only child (no I'm not spoilt and yes I do sometimes wish I had siblings- but sometimes I'm glad I don't have them!)

2) I couldn't say yellow until I was six years old- at least

3) I can never decide on favourite things- I can't tell you my one favourite film, song or even colour I don't think. I don't know if this makes me indecisive or just someone who wants it all!

4) I re- read The Pursuit of Love every year, it's like pulling on a cashmere blanket (actually I've never had a cashmere blanket but I've had a scarf and I can imagine what a blanket would be like)

5) My favourite pizza is with parma ham, artichokes and a soft egg

6) I don't wear foundation

7) I hate long nails

8) I think my signature is rather boring but I can't really change it now can I?

9) I literally adore being in the cinema- I love the peace of not being able to talk and being able to concentrate on just one thing. I regularly go to the cinema in the height of summer and sit in the dark very happily, knowing the sun is blazing outside.

10) I can sleep virtually anywhere- and in the full daylight. I think I am part English, part Irish, part door mouse.

This is a great post and lovely to get to know you a little better :) Your pizza sounds just yummy, I must try it soon!

Hi Marie- Thanks- I had to try and think of things I haven't revealed before! The pizza is good, I add soft eggs to virtually every pizza I can, there's something about the yoke

Congratulations! You deserve it ;)

I am jealous that you don't wear foundation... that must mean your skin is flawless...

Hi Daily, Thanks! well I'm sure the skin could still be improved! It's very very pale so I do the palest of tinted moisturisers. I have just never mastered foundation and they are all a bit dark- but I think I should really buy some of the Japanese stuff and learn to apply properly!!
