I am a….

Pat, at Here, There and Everywhere devised this meme/game from a book she was reading, and I thought I would give it a go. It turns out to be not as easy as I thought.

Make a list of 20 things beginning with “I am a”.

Do not drop the “a”.. it must read: I am a…)

* I am a wife, daughter, sister and aunt

* I am a committed volunteer for my local hospice.

* I am a bookaholic

* I am a charity knitter and crocheter

* I am a tidy person, who dislikes muddles

* I am a lover of the coast

* I am a convert to social networking

* I am a lover of all things Disney

* I am a careful, if not overly confident or competent driver

* I am a loyal, hardworking person

* I am a shy and reclusive person

* I am a fan of all detective programmes and series

* I am a lover of live music and theatre

* I am a not very adventurous cook

* I am a reluctant gardener

* I am a pessimist by nature

* I am a morning person

* I am a non-smoker

* I am a Swindonian by birth

* I am a right-handed person

Now you know all there is to know about me!!!

About Yvonne

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.

      Hi there Pat,

      I’m definitely at my best in the morning before hubbie is up and about. Just me, my book and a large mug of black coffee, heaven!

      I Read your “I am’s” with interest. I’m sure that you are never “a-lone,” with all the lovely followers you have on your blog

    I followed the link from Pat’s blog… I was going to ask if you had a blog somewhere and here it is!

    I too am a huge detective series fan – Foyle’s War being my favourite. Fellow bookaholic and am also not a confident driver. Non-smoker and morning person too. Don’t get the opportunity for live music or theatre very often but *am* off to see John Barrowman in Plymouth on the 21st.

      Hi Cath,

      The ‘I am a…’ was actually quite a thought provoking process, wasn’t it? but very satisfying when complete.

      Foyles War was brilliant, but given charge of the remote sometimes (no chance of course), I would be permanently tuned to ‘Alibi’, where they do all the old re-runs of the detective series, heaven!

      We also have something else in common, that we both live in the West Country, a great place to be, although having spent many years in The Cotswolds, it’s a tough choice, as that too is a very beautiful part of the country.

    This is fun. I loved knowing more about you. I’m not a very adventurous cook too.

  4. Yvonne says:

    Hi Violet,

    Yes, it was a fun idea and a great way to get to know a little more about fellow ‘bloggers’. You can give away as little or as much as you want to.

    It was also quite difficult to do, I could think of plenty of things to say, but having to start them with ‘I am a ..’ was tricky, not as easy as it sounds!!

    If you follow the original link in the post, the story of how the idea came about is quite interesting.
