1. What is your favourite season of the year and why?

I don't like extremes, like very hot summers or very cold winters, so I think late summer, a warm day, but the colours of autumn just stasrting to appear.

2. What would be your ideal last 3 course meal on earth?

I'm mixing my cuisines here!

To start I'd have something like garlic prawns, followed by a good chicken tikka pathia curry, and to finish some form of lemon tart with icecream

3. Do you enjoy any Board games - either in real life or on line?

I love Scrabble and play it online. I enjoy Balderdash ( you make up definitions of words), I also enjoy things like Monopoly with my Gkids.

4. What was the last book you read - did you enjoy it?

Alice Hartley's Happiness, by Phillipa Gregory. it was ok, a bit far fetched, I prefer her historical novels.

5. Whe you take photos on hols  what do you do with them, print them out , put them in albums, post them on line ......?

I generally print some out and put them in an album. I post some on Facebook and I make sure all of them are stored on a CD for posterity.

1. What is your favourite season of the year and why? I love Spring because my garden is a Spring garden on the whole with daffs and bluebells etc.

2. What would be your ideal last 3 course meal on earth? Garlic mushrooms, followed by roast duck, and bannofee pie.

3. Do you enjoy any Board games - either in real life or on line? I like scrabble online. I used to play monopoly allot when the kids were young.

4. What was the last book you read - did you enjoy it? A bit sparse on the reading front at the moment so will rain check this question.

5. When you take photos on hols what do you do with them, print them out , put them in albums, post them on line ......?
I try to print out the very best but not many. I store some specials on an online album. We used to do cds untill we discovered horror horror that they dont last indefinitley and luckily we still had the photos on an old computer. So dh reckons that if we really want to keep them we should probably re record them every five years!!!!

Good questions Helen

1. What is your favourite season of the year and why?

I love winter, crisp dry mornings mainly! Big woolly jumpers and snuggling in front of a fire, and all my favourite foods seem to go better in the winter too!

2. What would be your ideal last 3 course meal on earth?

To start, a potato and leek soup with warm buttery crusty bread, followed by a beautiful roast beef with all the trimmings, and for dessert, white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Mmmm...

3. Do you enjoy any Board games - either in real life or on line?

We play things at Christmas with all the family round - Balderdash, Pictionary, that sort of thing. With just me and DH there's not much opportunity otherwise!

4. What was the last book you read - did you enjoy it?

Just finished Madame Bovary, which I enjoyed, it was better than I expected! Now on The Last Templar, which is standard archaeological thriller type stuff and also pretty good, going through that quite quickly!

5. When you take photos on hols what do you do with them, print them out , put them in albums, post them on line ......?

DH is a real camera buff, so he is in charge! He tends to create the most amazing online albums which I then copy onto Facebook if they are interesting. Everything is stored on his computer which is backed up nightly onto an external hard drive, and there is also an online facility he uses. Can you tell he works in archiving design lol! We don't often print out holiday snaps though, more family pictures. DH does have a selection of his favourites on a pinboard in his office though - his pictures are great!

Have a lovely weekend! Laura xxx

1. What is your favourite season of the year and why?

I like different bits of all seasons I think, and each time they come round I think its my favourite.  I like to see the flowers come up in spring, I like a nice warm day in summer (but only if I'm not at work), the colours are great in autumn, and I do like to watch snow coming down.

2. What would be your ideal last 3 course meal on earth?

Barbecue chicken wings, a big fat pizza with cheesy garlic bread, and chocolate fudge cake with cream and ice cream.  And a bottle of champagne to wash it down.

3. Do you enjoy any Board games - either in real life or on line?

We don't play many board games really - we have the Game of Life which comes out occasionally.

4. What was the last book you read - did you enjoy it?

A John Wyndham book - the Chrysalids - it was very good.  Future post-apocalyptic primitive society type of story.

5. When you take photos on hols what do you do with them, print them out , put them in albums, post them on line ......?

We just download them on to the computer, and maybe post a few to facebook.
