If you could ask me one question (and I answer it) What would it be?
What’s your most favorite memory?

Piece of advice for bloggers out there?
Just be yourself and always be on the lookout for inspiration.
Do the things that make you happy and always try to be uplifting.

In answer to Ashley’s question:

What’s your most favorite memory?

Favourite memories – wow I have so many lol. Friday was Bonfire night and on Saturday while we stood in the queue to buy some fireworks, I was telling Chris about what was like our family tradition earlier. The church I grew up in had a bonfire night each year in a field in the village. My Dad and my Grandad and some of the other gents would go up to the field in the morning and build the bonfire. When I was about 8/9 I started going up with my Dad to help out. It became a bit of a unofficial thing that I’d sit on the grass to check there no hedgehogs (as sometimes they would start building the fire the night before so thats why I had to check). My Grandma would serve hotdogs and burgers from her caravan and we’d have fireworks because were out in the village it would be really dark and there wouldn’t be so much light pollution so it would be AH-MAZ-ING!!!

Thank you Ashley for taking the time to answer my questions 🙂 Please visit her blog on the link above and if you have chance visit her inspirations – I also read A Beautiful Mess by Elsie so I can guarantee thats good 🙂
