Eleven Questions to answer

1-Do you have pets? What are their names?

Margaret – same as my Mum, and her Mum [and my daughter]

‘String’ – and I just noticed black cobwebs!

5 usually

10-If you could go anywhere in the world and do anything what would it be?

I would love to go to Scandinavia and see the Northern Lights

11-Name your favourite film and why?

    Enjoyed getting so much Angela info in one sitting! I'm just trying to figure out if Bob is very tall or if you're on the extreme petite side.

    Love "Witness"!

      And thanks for joining in. I was always ambivalent about those pink foam shrimps- they looked more exciting than they tasted.
      And you are another summer/detective person I see!
