Sallyann at Photographic Memories  http://hallysann.wordpress.com  kindly nominated me last week for this award. Check out Sallyann’s wonderful photographs and memories – guaranteed to make you smile!  To help me answer the 5 questions, I added some photographs from my archives. Sorry! I’ve bent the rules.

          For the award, there are rules to be followed:-

          The first rule is that you must thank the person who nominated you and leave a link back to their blog.  So my thanks to Sallyann for nominating me. 

          The second rule is to answer the five award questions …

          1.  If you could change one thing, what would it be ?

          I’d change peoples’ attitudes to energy use and recycling. We’ve still got a long way to go to make a real difference.

          2. If you could re-live one day, which would it be ?

Any simple, no frills day that involves my loved ones and my precious view of Laxey beach.

        3. What’s one thing which really scares you ?

          I’m scared of heights. Correction, I’m scared of falling from a great height and expiring before my time.

          4. What’s one dream you have not completed yet and do you think you’ll be able to complete it ?

          I’d love to learn to play a musical instrument really well but this would involve lots of practice and I doubt I have any natural musical ability. My family members and the cat (who covers her ears with her paws when I sing) are not so keen to encourage me.  My dream may become a nightmare for others.

          5. If you could be someone else for the day who would you be ?

    This is a difficult one.  I thought of Tenzing Norgay as maybe then we’d know the truth about the first man to reach the summit of Everest or even David Attenborough as he’s had such a wonderful life as a naturalist but I think it would have to be a bird not a person. I’d be free to roam, not scared of heights and have some amazing vantage points over the landscape.

          Finally, I have to add my own nominations for The Reality Award.  

          Nominate four other bloggers to pass the award onto …

          In no particular order …
