Suggested by jings of jangly fame. If you want to take part, post your age and what region of the country (or which country!) you live in.

I'm still 59 until next month and I live in Argyll, Scotland.

In fact you all look lovely.

Lona, my DD said the same thing after she'd taken the photo, she thought it was very funny! smile (not the blonde bit)

Lona Fri 09-Oct-15 23:40:48

Thanks for the thought Anya, but that one is long gone thank goodness! Still causing havoc for my dc though!

I'm 61. I love lots of crafts but partcularly patchwork and other fabric crafts, knitting and crochet.
DH and I have 3 DDs and 1 DGS who is just 13 ( DD1) and one DGC due in February (DD3). Very lucky that they all live within 15 miles of us.
We live in a small market town in North Bucks.

Here I am, on my 60th birthday a few weeks ago, and a pic of Emma the labrador who also goes into SOOPS kitchen. Originally from Newcastle, spent 25 years in far North of Scotland then moved to West Midlands for Gc. It's a bit busier here to say the least and was a shock to the system, so many people and cars! Two DCs and three Dgs

harrigran Sat 10-Oct-15 11:35:09

Happy sapphire wedding anniversary kitty, may the sunshine all day wine, shame we don't have a champagne glass.

kittylester Sat 10-Oct-15 12:20:25

Thank you harri. The sun isn't shining but there will be champagne later! grin

Greyduster Sat 10-Oct-15 12:50:11

I would post a picture of me, but they are nearly all with fish and the fish are better looking than I am! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 10-Oct-15 13:52:54

I would snap off a quick selfie and put it in but DD rang me just as I was about to dry my hair and it's gone all flat on one side. Grr. hmm

It was lovely!

Lona Sat 10-Oct-15 14:10:07
