Hello Everyone!

 

Well … here goes!  My first foray into Blogland!  Not sure how this will turn out but after much contemplation, have decided to just ‘give it a go’ and see what happens.  As an opening post, I thought I’d just explain a bit about me.
 
I’m a widow, in my 60’s, and am a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  I like to spend what free time I have doing Genealogical research (mostly England and Scotland) and trying to piece together the story of my ancestry.  
 
Home to me now is a small town in Ontario, Canada (recently moved from a busy city) and I’m sort of semi-retired .… meaning I do work but only my part-time job is out in the ‘real world’.  My full-time job is mostly done from home which suits me just fine.
 
I do a bit of  scrapbooking (should do a lot more, considering the number of boxes of photos I have collected over the years!) and I enjoy making and collecting 1:12 scale dollhouse miniatures, when time and resources allow.

I love books (worked in a bookstore for 8 years and loved every minute of it) and read whenever I get a spare minute or two but really enjoy ending the day with a lovely long read before going to sleep.

 
Bargain hunting (love rummaging through thrift/charity shops) and yard-sale shopping are enjoyable pursuits of mine and even though I worked in retail for many years, am not one to pay full price for anything, preferring to buy second-hand or if that’s not an option, then buying new at bargain basement prices only.

 Well, that’s me in a nutshell.

Now I wonder where this blogging journey will take me.
Tune in tomorrow and see!

 Bye for now …. Nan
