1. Who would you say was the most influential person in your life and why..?
Dan has certainly had a huge influence on me - all to the good, I think. My daughter also has changed me for the better.
2. Favourite book you have read ...?
Hard one. "Gone with the Wind", "Black Beauty" (first novel I ever read, it was a Sunday School prize). Often the last one - I have a very short memory
3. What is your favourite food....?
Ooh, these ARE hard. Chocolate, probably, good quality milk or 70% dark.
4. Favourite Tipple.....?
Champagne, definitely. If I won the lottery, I'd drink it every day. For medicinal purposes.
5. Tea, coffee or neither
Tea - real tea, not ponsy fruit tea. Or chai tea - yuk, what's that all about
6. Any phobias...?
No phobias, but I have vertigo so heights aren't good for me.
7. What annoys you most in life...?
My own shortcomings mostly.
8. Who was your first crush for...?
Barry Thomson. He was gorgeous. I was about seven and he was the local grocer's son - he was about 12 maybe. I can remember being sent to the shop for something and being unable to speak because he was there. I met him again when I was in my late 20s and still blushed
9. Favourite holiday destination....?
Anywhere the Hebridean Princess is going or the Wild West
10. What 5 items would you grab in an emergency.....?
Excluding live things, like Dan, Lorna and our pets, my Macbook, my iPhone (see, hi-tec), my diary, my address book (not so hi-tec) and my cattle passports.
