Friday Memes for 13th August
FIVE QUESTION FRIDAY
1. Have you ever visited another country?
Yes LOTS!!
- France – Paris (twice – once with school & once with Hubby – inc a visit to Disneyland Paris) and the Loire Valley (with school)
- Italy – Rome, Sorrento, Lido di Jesolo, Venice, Verona, Padova, Montecasino, Capri, Ravelo, Amalfi… and San Marino & Vatican State, which are in fact independent principalities!
- Spain – The Canaries and The Balearics
- Portugal – Lisbon & The Algarve
- Greece – Crete and Kos
- Cyprus – Paphos
- USA - Orlando, Florida and Niagra Falls. I’d love to visit more places in the US!
- Canada – Several trips to visit my family in Toronto, Ontario – inc trips to Niagra Falls and Montreal. I’d love to visit the other side of Canada – Vancouver and the Rockies!!…
- Egypt – Seven nights in Luxor (The ancient capital of Thebes), four nights in Giza, just outside Cairo, where the Great Pyramids are, then a trip to Abu Simbel before three nights cruising the River Nile. (Holiday of a lifetime!)
- Republic of Ireland – I’ve been to Dublin a couple of times, as well as a couple of trips down to Cork, where my sister used to live and work.
I suppose we should also count England and Wales, where I’ve been lots and lots of times – too many times and places to mention here! They may, like my homeland Scotland, make up the United Kingdom, but they are separate countries in their own right!
2. Where is the strangest place you have ever been?
I can remember a family holiday to Wales, when I was a child, when we drove through a vast area of mountains of slate. It was mounds and mounds of pieces of grey slate for miles! It was a very strange eerie landscape. I have never seen anything else like it!
3. What is your favorite season?
I LOVE Spring!! I love when the first tiny shoots of life appear in the springtime – blades of fresh green grass, plant stems, buds and leaves and blossom on the trees. I love it when the grey bleak landscape of winter turns to the bright colours of spring! I love being woken by sunlight and birdsong, rather than the alarm. I love seeing spring lambs in the fields.
4. What one song will always cheer you up?
Ooooh! It’s hard to pick just one, as I have a few favourite pick-me-up songs. However, I opt for Dakota by Stereophonics, as it always brings happy memories.
5. What Disney character do you resemble most?
Another hard question! I’m gonna go for Minnie Mouse, as she is my daughters’ favourite character, and I have my very own Mickey (Hubby’s name is Michael!)

1I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, but… I have never been on a plane! I have never been any where far enough from my home to need a plane. How sad is that?! Compared to all the places you’ve been.. I feel like a loser! haha Anyhow. I’m married to a coach with 2 small kiddos! Feel free to read some of our insanity!
2Still making rounds from New Friend Friday! Following you.
