Harry and I had a busy but productive three days over the weekend. First up was a trip to the Midlands, to inspect the work being done on our younger daughter's house. Then, straight from there to Cornwall at the other end of the country, to carry on helping with the renovation of the ancient cottage our elder daughter and her partner are doing up. It's coming on well, though there's still a lot to do. The phone signal is poor there and they still have no Wifi. No wonder BT has been rated below the banks for customer service.
Cornwall wasn't looking quite so lovely as on our previous visit -
Ah, here's a much better view -

Anyway, Harry agreed to answer the questions in Lilli's meme, so here's our shot at it...
1. What is something I always say?
Have you locked the back door?
Yes, I say that a lot, I have a thing about it.
2. What makes me happy?
Going across my knee.
😍
3. What makes me sad?
Getting up in the morning.
I wouldn't say it makes me sad, I'm just not a morning person.
4. How tall am I?
5'7"
5'6"
5. What is my favourite thing to do?
Reading your iPad - can't keep you off it.
Guilty as charged.
6. What do I do when you're not around?
Read your iPad.
There is some truth in that but I do keep house sometimes.
7. If I became famous what would it be for?
Writing.
In Harry's dreams, I could pen the next £1million best seller.
8. What makes you proud of me?
Your intelligence and good looks.
Oh!
9. What is my favourite food?
Panna cotta.
And crème brûlée.
10. What is my favourite restaurant?
Hartwell House.
A special place.
11. Where is my favourite place to visit?
France - no, wait! New York.
I love New York.
12. If I could go anywhere, where would it be?
New York.
See above.
13. How do I annoy you?
Let me count the ways...
No, let's skip that one.
14. What is my favourite film?
A Good Year.
France and Russell Crowe, what's not to love?
15. You get a phone call that I am in trouble, who will I be with?
Your Mum. She'd be the one in trouble, you'd be looking after her. (Pause)
Sixteen seconds. (Puzzled look) Sixteen seconds is the time it would take me to
collect up the necessities and hit the road if you needed me.
But would he remember to lock the back door?
Thanks to Lilli for sharing this meme.

So nice of him to do this for you. I'm not sure of my own answers so I'm not asking Nick. I wish I loved NY. My son and his husband live there and I could visit more often, but I'm not wild about the city. I would rather them come here. If you were there, what would you do?
ReplyDeleteI think visiting as a tourist and visiting family are very different. Last time we were in NYC it was for eight days and we still have more to see - email on it's way!

Hi Rosie, gosh, it sounds like a busy weekend. Wonderful of you and Harry to help with the renovations.
ReplyDeleteI love this meme and enjoyed reading Harry' answers, the last one was sweet :)

Property is so expensive in Cornwall, a doing-upper was all they could afford. Harry spent many years as a civil engineering contractor, so his skills have come in very handy!
DeleteI'm glad you liked the answers, it was great fun to do.

Rosie,
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely delicious post and you included dear Poldark! I should break my "No Meme" rule and do this one with Jack. Harry knows you very well.
Meredith
Glad you liked the Poldark photo, I'm still missing my Sunday night fix. Do have a go at the meme, it is both fun and revealing.

Hi, Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI loved Lilli's meme. I loved both of your answers. It's always fun to learn about others and how well their spouses know them.

I've enjoyed reading other bloggers' responses; glad you liked reading this one. Sometimes, I think Harry knows me too well!

Loved your answers, Rosie! I could be a morning person...if morning happened around noon. ;) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Around noon would be just about right, Cat, as long as I still had my two cups of coffee.

Hi Rosie, oh he is so sweet. Number eight , he was very accurate on!
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
Hi Jan, you are sweet too. Number eight made me blush!
DeleteRosie xx
I loved that we were able to read both of your thoughts.....and mornings...blah!
ReplyDeletehugs abby
I couldn't let Harry have all the say, though he was pretty accurate! And, mornings - blah! Couldn't have put it better myself.
DeleteRosie xx
Your Harry is quite sweet. His answers show a keen sense of humor and a lot of love. I much prefer London than New York. The grass is always greener on the other side of the pond!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ella
Humour and love - great ingredients for a marriage. I guess I take London for granted as it's on our doorstep. Despite having the beautiful Kew Gardens in London, the grass in Central Park seems greener to me!

Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI loved reading both your answers. I'm not a morning person and I agree with Jan - Number eight, Harry was very accurate on!
Love,

I'm glad you enjoyed reading our answers, Ronnie. Blushing again over number eight!
DeleteRosie xx
What great answers Harry had! And I loved your comments too. I'm glad you enjoyed the meme! If you happen to visit NY sometime, let me know. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the meme, Lilli, it was great fun to do. We wanted to go back to New York this year but circumstances were against us. We're hoping to make it next year, most likely in the autumn.
DeleteRosie xx
Number 8 was such a perfect honest and loving answer! Number 13 made me giggle!
ReplyDeleteI've been sick but I will do this one soon!
Sorry to hear you've been sick, Minelle, I hope you've recovered now. Harry's response to number 13 surprised me; I had no idea I was so annoying!
DeleteI look forward to seeing your Scotsman's take on the meme, it's fun to do.
Rosie xx
It's always fun to read these sort of memes by bloggers. Between memes and posts it gives us an extra teensy glimpse of you and who you are or might be. It almost makes me feel guilty as a reader because I get to have the glimpse and just make a comment. So thank you for the extra small peek, it was fun to read.
ReplyDeleteYou're always welcome here Laurel, no need to feel guilty! I'm glad you enjoyed our answers, it was fun to do.
DeleteRosie xx
Rosie, I loved reading Harry's answers. Especially number 8. I must get around to doing this with my Bear.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy x
Oh, that number 8 is going to haunt me. Do have a go with Bear, it's good fun and a little enlightening too!
DeleteRosie xx
fun answers...love visiting New York as well :-) Hugs
