The lovely Catherine at Pushing The Moon has tagged me for this ‘If I could…….” meme.
It was started by Jocelyn from The Reading Residence who called it The Walter Mitty Post, which I think is brilliant!
I usually do my day dreaming during my commute, here is a little insight into my whimsical thoughts!
If I could live anywhere
I actually really love where I live but I wish we had a warmer climate.
I absolutely hate the cold and hope that when I am older, I get to spend a good proportion of the winter in a warmer place.
If I could spend the winter by the sea and even next to a beach, I would be a very contented pensioner indeed.
If I could have any home
I actually love my home and I don’t think I would want another.
But I do wish that our problems with the builder’s were sorted, we have lived here for fourteen months, it is very frustrating!!
However, I would love to transport this house, when it is finished, to somewhere warmer – please see above.
Nevertheless, because I am a massive contradiction, I often dream about transporting it to Cornwall – I LOVE Cornwall!
If I could have any garden
It would be big enough for a She Shed and I would be looking to Sammy from Seize Each Day to help me decorate it. She has the most fantastic beach hut.
The garden would have an orchard and an old fashioned kitchen garden with a door in the wall that leads to a secret garden.
It would be in Cornwall and have a gate at the very end that leads to a cliff top with, a secret beach below.
I would still have pots everywhere filled with flowers and herbs.
I love them.
If I could be on holiday right now
I would be in Crete, beautiful Crete.
I love the island, the people and the food – it is wonderful!
If I could have any job
I would own a coffee shop.
It would be called the Vanilla Tea Room and himself would work front of house.
I would spend all day baking!
If I could have any talent
I would be able to work a computer ha!
Then I would not have wasted the whole of Saturday afternoon on the phone trying to be self hosted.
Please note the word try, I am still not self hosted and, I will never get those hours back!
I would be grateful for any advice at this point ha!
If I could live any day again
It would be the first day I was a mum!
It was a wonderful but overwhelming day.
I would tell that frightened girl that it was going to be ok, the baby was going to be ok and life would be ok.
If I could have any superpower
I would have an invisibility cloak, I’m not even sure that is a super power, anyway, because I am actually quite shy in real life until I get to know someone.
However, when I do know you, I would use it to play tricks on people and try to make everyone laugh.
I now have to pass the fun on and nominate (only if you want to of course);
Sammy from Seize Each Day
Clare from Mud and Nettles
Tara from After The Rain
Haylee Aloada Bobbins
Amy from Love Made My Home
Thank you for nominating me Catherine x x x
Have a lovely day!
I love your answers, Lisa, and now I want a She Shed too!
I hope you sort your self hosted issues out – I would love to be able to say I could help but I’m not all that technically minded myself. 😐
Thanks so much for joining in! Xxx
