What would you call your autobiography?

I was having coffee earlier with a few friends and one of them asked this, and it really got me thinking.

I think mine would be 'Is it time for lunch yet?' wink

Over to you!

I called mine, which I wrote for my daughter, "This Is Me".
And I signed it with my full maiden name, first married surname and then current (final!!) married surname. Long-winded but all a part of "me".

"Thank God I was Born with a Sense of Humour"

Didn't turn out so bad after all.

As I child who was very naughty, and a wayward teen, I was constantly being told I would end up in trouble as an adult or 'you'll come a cropper'.

It makes me laugh now.

Seemed like a good idea at the time

BusterTank Fri 01-Mar-19 12:22:18

Mine would be called ( In my shoes ) , because they say you shouldn't judge someone until you have spent a day in there shoes .

Living the Dream - the nightmare of setting up a lake in France.

Lots of our clients say 'You are living the dream. We'd all love to do this'. They don't see the difficulties in language, bureaucracy, what's available in the shops, how to keep all of our 'off grid' services working despite the weather conditions etc. They just see the beauty of the lake and the fish, the relaxed atmosphere that we create and how enjoyable their HOLIDAY is. If I could turn back time I would not do it again.

One winter, more than thirty years ago, I was on a very exposed hillside on the east coast of Scotland overlooking Cairnryan and ahead of me on the path was a single barren hawthorn tree. It had been battered by the elements and was spindly and misshapen. It looked as though it was a miracle it had survived at all and I was very moved by the tenacity of nature. When I returned in May the same tree was gloriously full of blossom and again I pondered that not only had the tree survived, but it had become just as fruitful as other trees. I was at a crossroads in my life at the time - I had just become engaged to The Wonderful Man and the tree became a symbol of my new start; although my early experiences had shaped me I would be like the tree and survive and blossom.

So, to answer the question, volume one would be called 'A Hawthorn in December', detailing my early life and volume two, 'A Hawthorn in May'. smile
