Fiona's meme

Here's a meme that's doing the rounds - Fiona at Cottage Smallholder tagged me for it.

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Studying for my history finals at Oxford University, whilst juggling family life ... the children were 11, 9, 7 and 5 at that point.

What's on your to-do list today?

Make shepherd's pie for 15 (I've got a Cambridge college crew staying, training at Henley for next term's races).

Snacks I enjoy
The ones eaten standing up in front of the fridge ;) Also hummus and celery sticks

What would you do if you were a billionaire?

Sort out the house. Stage small-scale opera in the garden. Carry on as ever.

5 places I've lived
