The talented writer and blogger David Eric Cummins over at Higher Hell to nominate me for the Kreativ Blogger Award – just for a change I’m going to play the game according to the rules (!)  So, here goes:

Evidently, part of the deal or ‘one of the conditions of the award’ is to share six random facts about myself then nominate 2 or 3 bloggers (or, as David nominated 10 then I’ll do the same) to carry along the award baton if they so wish.  So, here goes, six random facts:

1. I returned to writing at a creative writing class in the 80’s but ‘work and life’ meant I didn’t continue until the second decade of the 2000’s.
2. I’m an inveterate researcher so had to find out where the Kreativ Blogger Award began – the originator was a Norwegian blogger called Hulda according to Kreativ Blogger SimonFoodFavourites and many others.
3. I once fell down a pothole and tore every ligament in my left ankle – indescribably painful – almost as painful as all those clever folk who kept assuring me ‘you’d have been better to break it.’ Grrrrr.
4. I wanted to live in Oregon when I was growing up – too many John Wayne movies, I guess.
5. My daughter calls me ‘arty farty’ (heh-heh)
6. I met Bernard Bresslaw at a Round Table fete in Malvern donks ago, he was very, very tall with enormous feet.

And finally, my nominations for the Kreativ Blogger Award are:

Many of the above superb bloggers have received such awards before, I’m sending them on, and letting the bloggers know of this award, as a token of my appreciation of their work.  It is entirely up to the recipient as to whether they wish to pass the award on, no pressure …
