1. Where in the UK have you not been that you would really like to visit?
Shrewsbury, Chester and the area around North Wales is one area I've not managed to visit. I'd also like to see more of Scotland.
2. What is the crafting project you're most proud of?
Probably the Klimt garden cross stitch, which took about 20 months to complete
and Mini Hobbit's unicorn cardi:
3. What has been your enduring fandom? Why?
Sherlock Holmes (ACD). I began in BBC Sherlock, and from there read/re-read all the original Holmes stories. I found there are so many possibilities and can either remain in Baker Street or retire to Sussex. Plus it's the setting for the Ferret and the rest of the gang, which allows me to entertain myself in all sorts of ways. I've also made some great friends through the fandom.
4. Which play that you've seen performed has had the most impact on you? Why?
I'm not sure there is anything which stands out. Plays have meant something at the time but looking back I wouldn't say there was anything in particular. For me, it would be old style musicals, Top Hat, An American in Paris, 42nd Street, Singing in the Rain and White Christmas, all the feel good favourites, which do just that. Plus Sir Matthew Bourne's productions, with their combination of story, dance and music.
5. What led you to help out with Brownies?
I began with Guides, when the Daughter's guide unit needed helpers and I volunteered. I became a guider and then took over the unit at a later stage. A change of job meant I could no longer run the unit, which had to close as no other volunteers came forward. I took a short break, but then joined the local Brownie unit as an assistant, which was much less time consuming. When we moved to Gloucester I wanted to continue, because I enjoyed the activities with the girls, and was put in touch with the unit in Kingsway. I was there for 11 years, before retiring in the summer. I thought I might miss volunteering with the Brownies, but I'm now co-leading a family based group at the church one afternoon a week, so I still have involvement but in a different way.
Perpetuate the meme: I'll leave five questions for the first five who leave a comment asking!
