Who is Annie?
I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, writer, cook, artist and gardener. Last year 2019, we decided that it was time to pack up and go on our last big adventure before we settle down and think about growing up. So we sold up, packed up and moved to Tenerife. Find out how we get on in the posts below. Ax
Pot Black.
Chapter 9Pot BlackBecause of mother’s profession (junk shop owner, in the guise of antique dealer), we often had some very unusual things come into our house. One such thing was a miniature oriental funeral procession. It lived on our book shelves for months, until mother found a buyer for it. I thought that it was […]
Ring True. Chapter 8
As a small child uncle Jack was one of my heroes; the man could do no wrong in my eyes. I loved spending time with him. Why? I haven’t the foggiest idea, but that’s just how it is sometimes when you’re a kid.Uncle Jack could turn his hand to anything; he was a plasterer by […]
Monkey Business. Chapter 7.
Monkey Business. Before my parents had the revelation of holidaying in B&Bs, we always camped. As kids we much preferred the latter, but mum usually had the final say.

Hi Annie,
At long last, I have made time to read your fantastic blogs and learn about your amazing life. I am home at last and making the most of my time before I go back to work. My lovely phone has arrived while I have been away. So now I can take those wonderful photos and even have a go at instagram. The Tortilla did upset set Baz but we shall know for next time. Keep in touch and I shall see you again. xx

Sorry to hear that it upset him, it was probably the chilli in the salsa more than the tortilla. You will be able to follow me on instagram and I will follow you. So glad that you enjoyed the blogs, keep letting me know what you think. You can practice your writing on me, but I think that you will be fine, just let it flow and let it come from your heart and you’ll be fine. xA

Hi Annie,
I bet you look super in your new dress. It was worth all the hard work. | am writing this in the dark because my one and only grandson his here and he is occupying my room. Where he is sleeping like a baby. He came to visit for the weekend and went Go Karting yesterday. I asked for photos as I was at work and could not go. I am still waiting. No photos only a sheet of paper with lap times on it. He is going home today because he is back at school on Wednesday, One of his sister our Lilliejean starts school this week. A new milestone. There is a video on Elliot’s phone and if he had gone home i wonder never had seen it. Well I better get ready for my trip to Doncaster.
Your new best friend
