"The Liebster Award is for bloggers with under 300 followers and the rules of the award is that the nominee must link back to whoever awarded them, write 11 random facts about themselves, answer the 11 questions from the award giver, and then nominate another 11 bloggers and make up 11 questions for them to answer. It's a great way for new and undiscovered bloggers to meet new people, get more followers and find some blogs that they want to follow."
Last week I was kindly nominated for a Liebster Award by Gillian from Tales From A Happy House It was a bit of a shock, albeit a nice one! I had a think about it, and have decided to enter into the spirit of the award. I have come across so many wonderful blogs. However many of them have over 300 followers, so I have not been totally true to the brief....
Anyway here are my eleven random facts:
- I am a terrible driver.
- I can recite the dialogue of the film 'Withnail & I' from beginning to end from memory.
- I dislike talking on the telephone.
- I love to sing, but only when I am on my own.
- I am a trained counsellor.
- I hate my hair. It is very fine. I blame my Dad.
- You will always find me in the kitchen at parties.
- I have read 'A Short History Of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson at least a dozen times.
- My favourite job was working in a record shop in the early nineties.
- I like to take pictures of front doors.
- I love toast.

Leanne, thanks so much for joining in, it was great to know a bit more about you! You sound like a very interesting lady. You fact about Withnail and I made me chuckle - someone once told me about a drinking game you can play while watching that film whereby you drink every time someone on screen drinks. I think you end up plastered quite soon!
