Someone, somewhere in blogland nominated me for this a while ago. For the life of I can't remember who they were! But in the spirit of the "award" here are 10 things about me..
1. Most of my formative years were spent abroad. My dad was in the RAF, so I've lived in places such as Germany, Quatar, Saudia Arabia and the Persian Gulf amongst others.
2. I used to swim competitively. 200m butterfly was my best event. Now? 2m would probably kill me!
3. The day job prior to the one I have now, involved working with asbestos. When I die my epitaph will read, "it wasn't the cough that carried her off, it was the coffin they carried her off in."
4. I always wanted to be a marine scientist. Even now after 30 years I can still remember the scientific names of seaweeds. Fucus vesiculosus anyone?
5. I love the film Zulu, and one day I will go to Rorkes Drift.
6. I love motorhoming. In an ideal world the DH and I would travel the world in our motorhome. I would write (and get paid) for my books and short stories and this would fund our adventures. (Well you have to dream don't you!)
7. My dad was an electronics engineer and to this day says that he fitted circuit boards on ICBM's! I still don't know whether I believe him or not. (OK, not exactly related to me - but it is a good one!)
8. I love heavy metal music. I was well into the rock scene in my youth. It sill surprises my step son (now 25) when I recall all the songs from bands such as AC/DC, Metallica, Motorhead etc. which he is now into!
9. I go to church. Our congregations averages 14 on any one week! Small, but friendly at the same time.
10. I love tills or anything that money goes into! I should really work in a shop or a bank!
Well that's it! As most of my fellow bloggers have already done this list - I nominate anyone who hasn't already done their "Top 10". Caroline xxxx

Just popping out of the Bat Cave to say....
......
1. Got a "R" from Take a Break - Fiction Feast for one of my short stories. 3 still out there tho' so fingers crossed.
2. Is it me - but is there general apathy out "there" at the moment? A lot of my blog pals seem to be finding it very "hard" at the moment. My creative well has dried up at the moment - so I'm plodding on with edits - it's about all I can manage!
Back into the cave now. Bye! Caroline x
