Blogging on a Tuesday..

I haven't done one of these for a while so its time to take part in Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and and this week its talking about blogging

1. Why did you begin blogging? 
I've been blogging now for about 13 years now. I was a single mum of three older children and living a lovely life in a cottage on a hill in Wales over looking the harbour. A friend of mine had started a blog and encouraged me to  start one too. Im afraid she gave up after a couple of months but I continued. 

2. What benefits does blogging offer you?
It became my journal.. where I shared my days with friends and family.. many of whom lived  across the country. Over the years it grew.. as it covered my immigration  to America.. my new life with MrD and my battle with cancer. Its a great way of letting out your feelings

3. Have you made friends from blogging? 
Of course. and met a couple in real life

4. Where do you get ideas for things you blog about? Do other bloggers influence you?
Just everyday stuff... my garden, my recipes.. my stitching and of course my gorgeous grandchildren. I wouldn't say that other bloggers influence me... I would say they inspire me... in more ways that one..

Love and Hugs

  3. Blogging started as a journal for me as well in the beginning. I used to keep diaries but once I started blogging - no more diary!

  4. Well hello! I remember you from reading your blog a great many years ago. If I recall correctly you had recently moved to Wales. I'm sorry to hear you've had a battle with the big C but am happy that you found someone to partner with and that you moved across the pond. I do hope it is a happy time for you in the USA despite all the craziness going on.

  8. Loved this post. I hadn't realized you came over from Wales. What an adventure that must have been! My husband and I moved from San Diego CA to Seattle WA and that was a big enough change for me. :)
