1 Is there something you can tell readers about yourself and your blog?

It was inspired by my dog Alfie who we lost sadly in April. he left a big empty hole in my life and blogging has helped to fill it.

2.What satisfaction do you get from blogging?

The blogging community has been so friendly and supportive, they make me happy!

3. How do you bring traffic to your blog

I try to post interesting content and I’m active on Twitter and Pinterest.

4 What’s something that you’d like to improve on this year?

I definitely want to get more tech savvy and make the blog more exciting.

5 How do you get motivated to blog?

I get motivated from my dogs who mean the world to me, oh…and Pinterest!

6 Do you have any favourite books this year?

There has been so many great books this year but I would say Room by Emma Donoghue just because it stayed with me and not many books do that, and After I’ve Gone by Linda Green because it made me think quite deeply about the future. These two books have certainly started some interesting discussions with friends and family and that’s always a good thing.

7. What are your favourite songs, music etc

It would be easier to say what I don’t like ( ie jazz ) because my choice is so varied and it depends on my mood, Today my choice would be Gladys Knight, Help Me Make it Through the Night. Tomorrow? maybe Ed Sheeran, Adele and anything that makes me feel good,

8.What do you do in your spare time?

Reading, reviewing, walking my dogs, crafts.

9.Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I’d like to say with a repaired spine because mine needs fixing, and in a cottage by the sea with dogs and books everywhere!

10. Which five subjects do you read on other blogs?

Book reviews, dogs, crafts, poems, and lifestyle.

No. that will never happen!
