Three


I have been tagged, by Brooke of Pure and Noble.  I have to provide three answers to a series of questions (yes a week of revealing a bit about myself). Here we go again...

Three Names I Go By


Engracia
Mama
Grass

Three Places I Have Been

New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places on earth

Italy, so romantic

New York City, enough said

Three Favourite Drinks


Champagne, my drink of choice

Tea to start my day and beyond

Water, plenty of it

Three Jobs I Have Had


Solicitor (lawyer) for most of my working life

Book publisher for about 6 years (loved it)


Mama, toughest but best job by far

Three TV Shows I Watch

The news

Grand Designs, one day I want to design and build my own home on a country beach


Brothers & Sisters, pure escapist fluff I love it

Three Places I Would Like to Visit

Brazil, would be nice to pop in meet some of my cousins

South Africa, I've been seduced by the World Cup coverage

Kakadu National Park, I'm really keen to discover this place with the boys in a few years

Three Favourite Retro TV Shows




Three Places I Have Lived

Potts Point, Sydney

Paddington, Sydney


Three Favourite Dishes




Vincisgrassi from Buzo Restaurant, a lasagna with porcinni mushrooms, prosciutto and truffle, so good I always take home an extra serving (try this recipe by Nigel Slater or if you own it, The Silver Spoon version)

Three Things I am Looking Forward To

The trip to France and Portugal with hubby and the boys
Having a romantic dinner with F in Paris (we've been to Paris many times but this is our first trip together)
Watching my boys grow into wonderful, caring and decent adults

I am supposed to tag three people, but I'm just going to tag one, Jane from My Pear Tree House (no obligation Jane, but over to you).

Have a happy day.
