| Introduction | Hi, All I hope to do is to raise a laugh with my (mostly) true stories about my life, my friends, and my large family. We celebrate our family joy every Saturday lunchtime at "Audrey's Party" when we all meet up at my parents house, a.k.a. Headquarters. There’s usually about a dozen of us! I can often be found at Charity Shops, & Car Boot Sales. I love English Shabby Chic and Vintage Styles,(that describes my decorating style, my clothes, and some, but not all, of my very loopy family!) I have been a D.G.I.T. (Domestic Goddess in Training) since 1975, and I have recently achieved a lifelong ambition to produce a lump free gravy. I have two grown up sons, two delightful daughters-in-law, three jaw-droppingly gorgeous granddaughters, and a handsome baby grandson. Next time you’re in Lincoln - pop into Sainsbury’s. I’ll be the woman wielding a rolled up umbrella in the “Buy One Get One Free” section. |
