Thirteen Tuesday (copy)


Today’s Tuesday Thirteen is thirteen things beginning with the letter " H ", that have some relevance or meaning for me. As usual they are in no particular order!

1. Happy. I would like to think that most of the time I am happy. I have a good life and I have many blessings which make me happy. Like everyone, I sometimes have to remind myself!
2. Hop scotch. A favourite game from my childhood. I can remember playing this in the street just in front of our house. I was very good at it.
3. Holland. Another place which I would like to visit. Particularly in the spring to see the tulips and daffodils.
4. Henry. He was the second dog we ever had. A beautiful Irish Setter, who sadly had epilepsy and used to have regular fits. Because our children were small it was impossible to cope with him. Simon found a new home for him on a farm, which was great but unfortunately this happened at a time when I was away, so I was unable to say goodbye and it broke my heart. To this day, I can't forgive myself for being unable to look after him.
5. Hands. How important are our hands? Think of all the things that would be impossible without hands. It is unimaginable. I love my hands, they are quite small and neat and can do millions of things.
6. Harry (Edward Sansum). This is my Paternal grand father, he died when I was very young, so I don't really remember him. Apparently, he used to let me sit on his lap and comb his hair. He must have mellowed some what to let me do that because he wasn't always the most patient of men! He had a temper and was prone to drinking.
7. Happy feet. A really cool film about a tap dancing penguin. The last film that I saw at the cinema.
8. Hot. I like it hot!!! 
9. Husband. I have been married to my husband Simon for nearly 28 years. I am very proud of that and can't wait to reach 30 years. I love him very much and he has been the best husband I could have hoped for, even if he is a pain in the bottom sometimes and doesn't know my likes and dislikes!!!
10. Hair. I naturally have mousy brown hair. Over the years it has been tinted with red and highlighted with blonde. It has lots of grey now, in fact I think it has become even greyer over the last couple of weeks and definitely over the last year. I have it dyed blonde with highlights about every two months. It costs a small fortune but I am not ready to go grey yet! My hair is shoulder length but when I was younger it was very long ... below my waist. I always notice peoples hair and love to see long shiny tresses.
11. Hydrangea. I have a big pink hydrangea bush in my garden and I love it. It was one of the first things we got last year when we first started on the garden.
12. Hiccoughs. I get hiccoughs quite a bit and I hate them, they are son painful. I can also remember really well what it felt like when I was pregnant and the baby had hiccoughs. All of my babies seemed to do that a lot. It was such an irritating feeling.
13. Hermione. I love this name and wish that I had called one of my girls this, although they all have beautiful names any way (Coralie, Verity and Saskia). I keep trying to convince Coralie that if she has a little girl in the future she should call her Hermione!!
