Norahs Girl

about me

I,m a Mum of 3 (26,22,and 19)They keep me on my toes so to speak!!!!!! and rapidly heading for Hair dye.

I live in Sunny South Africa but I,m of Welsh(uk)decent!

I use to be(before the joys of Motherhood and domestic bliss Ha HA!) a nurse specialising in Oncology(Cancer nursing).Now I,m a stay at home Mum(although I,m a part-time secretary for DH,s small business.)

I,ve lots I want to do in the pipeline now the children are getting older!I love to cook,its one of my passions,besides cooking I love to Read and enjoy anything from Medical thrillers,historical epics! to a good old mystery the more complex the better!

On my to do list is learning to quilt,knit fair isle and bottle preserves properly! I live at the Coast and have done so for the last 5 years,its certainly a slower pace of life here than when we lived in the city.

There is something very restful about living so close to the Sea even the storms are spectacular to watch.One of My wishes is to spend a weekend in a Light house,preferably in rough weather!

I,m also Mum to 4 dogs(all girls!)Millie the boxer,Jessie the cross border collie who is slightly mad to say the least!and my 2 little Jack Russells Molly and Mandy who have me running about all over the place I wish I had their energy!I,de bottle it and make a fortune!

Favorite Foods:

I Love Italian food, Thai,Morrocan and Portuguese food and some good old British Classics such as Bread Pudding and lemon Meringue pie!I adore fresh herbs.especially Basil and Coriander.Garlic and lemons are a favourite of mine to cook with too.

My vegetable dishes are popular,I,m known for my soup and muffin recipes amongst Family and friends.Now we live at the coast I do try to cook more seafood but my DH and sons are comitted carnivores!

I don,t like offal except chicken livers! and I can,t abide game of any sort which is a bit of a shame faced confession for someone who lives in Africa!
