If you lot met me in person you would soon realise the phrase, 'delicate flower', cannot be attributed to little me.
When I put in an appearance in January 1950 the mould was discarded. The first sentence of a wall plaque my children had made for my 70th birthday is, 'Definitely Different'. People who know me would agree that is very true. I have always done my own thing. Many of the situations I have found myself in over the years could have ended in my demise.
My life has been very different to that of many people, health and safety was definitely not involved in my upbringing. I learned to drive a small caterpillar tractor at the age of five, and a car at the age of twelve.
I have always been a tomboy much to my late Mother's annoyance, I didn't like doing girly things, playing with dolls or dressing in pretty clothes, I still don't. I haven't worn a dress for a long time preferring trousers and T shirts. I don't pollute my 'beautiful'
face with makeup, disliking the feel of it.
I am quite strong, even though I am only 5' 2.5" tall. Only I would be stupid enough to bring a full size wardrobe down the stairs in our present home.
I still don't quite know how I managed it. Now my husband's balance is very bad after his last fall, all the lifting is left to me, there is plenty of it. My biceps look a bit like those of someone who does weightlifting.
I am a daft old bat, my baby sister's term of endearment,
but I do try to help others who are in need if I can.
Now over to you, describe your characteristics.
