I have been keeping a few secrets. This blog is not where I spill the beans on everything that is going on in my life. Do you think you know me? Well think again!

Secret number 1 is that sometimes I am a crap cook. Yes, sometimes I make truly scrumptious things to eat and sometimes I screw up even the most basic of things; such as a baked potato. D was not so impressed to be served, tonight, a half-baked potato. Though I feel that this is quite acceptable as even the professionals screw it up too. A short while after finishing our half-baked potatoes we watched Beyond River Cottage, in which Hugh F-W took part in the Melplash Country Show and entered half-cooked fruit cake and burnt fudge into one of the competitions.

Secret number 2 is that I am a typist to a little old lady, who sends a yearly Christmas letter to all her friends.

Secret number 3 is that I have been know to compose letters of complaint. My latest has been a letter to the Planning Service. I was put up to it!

Secret number 4 is that once a week I head out to our garage with D, and we pump iron. Yes, for a couple of months I have been lifting weights. I am hoping to get so big and muscley that I will have to be renamed ‘Rambess’. Soon I will have a big, veiny neck!

Lie number 1 is that I’m not really hoping to be a female bodybuilder – I just want to be more toned and exercised.

Christmas is a time of secrets and lies. We are all being secretive about what we are giving to people as presents and as for lies – Santa?

I am keeping a whole heap of other secrets, but you’ll all just have to be patient and wait till the 25th.

Happy Birthday KB!
