ABC of me

Many thanks to Choclette at Chocolate Log Blog for passing on the ABC (Awesome Blog Content) Award to me.  This means I now have to think of 26 words that mean something to me, one for each letter of the alphabet.



A - Art.  One day I will have time to develop my skills, for now I appreciate the skill of others.
B - Baking.  I've been baking since I was a little girl and still love it.
C - Create.  Making things makes me happy.
D - Digital Scrapbooking.  I love the immediacy and flexibility of scrapping my photographs with digitial kits.
E - Earrings.  I have many pairs.
F -Farm.  Where I live.
G -Garden. A place to potter around, my garden has changed purpose many times.
H - Home.  I love my home and like to spend as much time here as possible.
I - Images.  I love words, but I love images more.
J - Joni Mitchell.  My favourite musician.
K - Kitchen.  Somewhere I like to spend my time.
L -Laugh.  I can usually find the funny side of any situation, I love to laugh.
M - Massage.  I'm a bit of a spa junkie.
N -Non-judgemental.  I strive to be non-judgemental, it's not easy.
O -Optimistic.  Always look on the bright side of life.
P -Parents. There is my Mother and Mother-in-law and these are also my roles.
Q - QI.  Makes me laugh so much.
R - Relax.  Sometimes I find it hard to relax (see M).
S - Saxophone.  My husband plays the saxophone and I hear it every day.
T - Twitter - I know, I spend far too much time on Twitter.
U - University. I loved my time  studying at university and now work at one.
V - Vote.  I was very affected by 'Shoulder to Shoulder' the suffragette TV series and always vote.
W -Wine. No explanation needed.
X - Xylophone. I used to play a little bit of xylophone when I was at school.
Y - You!  My blog would be nothing with YOU my readers. Thanks.
Z -Zabaglione. Totally delicious.


Now I have to nominate some other bloggers for the ABC award.  I've decided to nominate three bloggers:

Jenny Eatwell's Rhubarb and Ginger
The More than Occasional Baker
Homemade by Fleur

Please feel free to join in!

I got an award!

Many thanks to Chele at Chocolate Teapot for giving me this award. It's the first one I've had for Farmersgirl Kitchen, so is extra special.

The rules of this award are to copy the award image into a post and then list ten things that make you happy. In no particular order (as they say on Strictly Come Dancing):

1. Hugs
2. Chatting to friends irl or online
3. Sitting outside on a warm day with a good book and a glass of wine
4. Having a back massage
5. My husband - he is so good to me.
6. Seeing people enjoy the food I cook
7. Coffee
8. Bendicks Bittermints (dark chocolate, strong mint)
9. Making crafty things
10. Wearing nice clothes

Now to pass this on to 10 bloggers who brighten my day, trying to avoid those that Chele has already chosen.
1. Wendy at The Omniverous Bear
2. Katie at Katiecakes
3. Deanna at Tastenc
4. Suzie at Suzie the Foodie
5. Miriam at The Winter Guest
6. Helen at Feedingfamily of five for fifty
7. Amy at Vintage Cookbooks
8. Sarah Jayne at Weekend Carnivore
9. Charlene at No love sincerer
10. Mary Moh at Keep Learning, keep smiling
