Without further ado, here are the 7 facts about me (apologies in advance for my rantings, if anyone is offended by my views it was unintentional)
1) Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. Porridge, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, bagels, waffles, pancakes, muffins, toast, specialty breads and jams, granola, scrambled eggs, scones, toasted sandwiches etc etc. I love them all. It’s amazing what a wide variety of different food, tastes and texture you can have for one meal. They can be hot or cold, healthy or ridiculously indulgent. Even simple things like pouring hot milk on your cereal transforms it into a completely different breakfast experience. I normally eat quite a healthy breakfast, but the odd indulgent treat at weekends is great. I can’t understand people who miss breakfast or who eat exactly the same thing every day – yes have porridge every morning if you want but as least alter the toppings, add some fruit and cinnamon to it for a change – please!
2) Many people know that apples are one of my favourite fruits but recently I have switched my daily fruit of choice to be pears – they’ve got to be quite crisp though and eaten raw, whereas apples are good in any form.
3) I love going for long walks in the countryside but hate cycling. Walking is so relaxing and peaceful. You get to see and appreciate all the wonders of nature and can go by yourself or with a companion. Whereas cycling, to me, feel unnatural, you can’t really talk to other people while you are doing it and in the summer you get splattered with lots of little midges.
4) I’d rather be a little too hot than too cold in temperature.
5) My clothing seems to be going through a floral stage. The last three items of clothing I bought have all been covered with big prints of flowers. Not sure how this started as always used to avoid clothes like this.
6) I quite enjoy housework – ironing, hovering, washing up etc but find dusting a chore – not sure why.
7) I don’t like foods that taste too much of burnt caramel, I find it too intense and sweet. A little caramel is good, as a sauce or drizzle, but when its one of the main flavours I find it too overpowering. Hence I don’t like crème brulee or tarte tatin.
Hopefully you found those interesting and don’t think me completely crackers now. The 7 bloggers I wish to pass the award onto are:

#6- want to come over? ha ha!
Congrats on the award! I loved reading these special things about you. Thanks also for passing it on to me. I feel honored that you would include me in such fabulous company!! xxoo
lovely list - I agree breakfast should be full of flavour and variety - though I am better at this when I have time - or even better when I eat brunch out - blogging has been good for exploring breakfast options. I too have discovered crisp pears can be as good as apples and I love the sound of your floral prints
Awwwwww, thanks!
Re your fruit disclosure - does that mean you'll be rebranding as "Pear and spice"?
