Have just found out I’m one of the winners over on Shimelle’s blog here which has really made my day.
The only downside at the moment is I still can’t comment on certain blogs to thank you for comments received. I just want everyone to know I do appreciate all your comments and read your blogs and would leave a comment if I could.

aims
This week we had to challenge ourselves to do something we’ve been putting off. I’m already trying to get fit and eat less, usually a big aim of mine, so that was out. I then decided to start sorting out things and took a bag to the charity shop this morning, something I’ve been thinking about all year, a good aim I’m sure, but then I remembered my walks album.
So I’ve been busy printing out digi layouts and mounting on cardstock and have started doing my backlog of walks.

10 on the 10th
For my 10 on the 10th post this month I’ve been thinking about films,not just the best films I’ve ever seen but films that mean something to me.
So here are my 10 favourite films.
1. Gone with the wind – I saw this with mum and dad, many moons ago. I remember my dad embarrassing me by making the cinema laugh over a comment he said very loudly.
2. Oliver – my first date with my husband.
3. Love Story – I cried so much I made myself ill.
4. West Side Story – despite not liking the actor who played Tony, I loved this film and yes, I cried again.
5. Star Wars – moving on a bit, I enjoyed watching this with my children especially as it had Han Solo!
6. Witness – Harrison Ford was definitely a fav of mine.
7. Blade runner – starting to be a bit of a theme here.
8. Dirty dancing – having grown up in the sixties the music appealed to me and so did Patrick Swayze.
9. Mama Mia – this was a panic Christmas buy from my husband, he thought he hadn’t got me enough, bless. Not the best storyline but great fun and worth it just to see the men all dressed up at the end.
10. 3 Days of the Condor – I could have picked Butch Cassidy or The Sting, both great Robert Redford films but I really like this quirky thriller.
So there you have it, not perhaps the greatest films I’ve seen but one’s that stick in my mind and I’d always watch again.
What is your favourite film?

Mr Romantic
I’d been away for Easter with my church group and had a lovely time.
I was 15yrs old and ready for romance.
It was the journey home and I’d somehow managed to get a lift with a car of boys.
The cheeky one in front turned and looked at me, he said these words
“ Jane you’re really beautiful
You’re my heart’s desire.
You mean everything to me
and I’m a compulsive liar!”
Over 40yrs later he’s still much the same, I must be mad!!

colour
For as long as I can remember green has been my favourite colour, not most people’s choice I know but I have always wanted to be different. My engagement ring is made up of emeralds and diamonds, “emeralds are unlucky” my mother said, another reason to choose them in my book, I don’t believe in luck!
green reminds me of nature, it has a calming, peaceful effect.
a walk in the park
the fun of visiting the zoo
no matter how much we spoil the world, life goes on.
For all these reasons I would say green is my favourite colour, so why is it then that I tend to wear blue or brown more? Contrary as always!
