Margaret R BlakeI'm British born, retired and now living in Queensland, Australia. I have survived childhood - falling out of trees, measles, chicken pox, mumps and siblings - also a myriad of other things like relationships and marriage, being tossed off a horse, abroken leg, a broken wrist, bad TV programs, bad food, bad company and a few other bad things, not necessarily in that order ... and reasonably well, even if I do say so myself. I have two gorgeous children - one of each and grown up and doing their own thing now. I have several t-shirts for being reasonably clever at various endeavors. In my spare time I like to do stuff with needles and pins, like sewing, embroidering and cross-stitch, and playing with pencils and crayons. I also like to read, and watch funny movies. And sometimes I like to be middle-aged so that I can frock up in an underdress and a kirtle, don a veil and wimple and go and hang out in a medieval village called Victory. I now live in a brick box with my teddy bear, Paddington. Read More Read Less
