Throughout February I am having a number of special peeps
join me for some warm winter sunshine. All my guests will be answering four
simple questions. So slip on those shades and settle down to meet today's fabby
guest, Colette Caddle
Bikini or swimsuit?
Definitely a swimsuit,
haven’t worn a bikini since my mid twenties! Two reasons, really. Firstly, I
was snow white, seriously, I never got a tan and secondly, as a result of the,
the bits that never saw the light of day the rest of the year, burned easily!
Share
a memory from your childhood
My father took it into his head to take
the family on a foreign holiday and chose Romania, which, at the time, was not
the most common of holiday destinations… and that’s putting it mildly. The
weather the night we flew was dreadful and the turbulence, really frightening.
And nauseating. Yes, I threw up pretty much all the way there. At one stage, the
air hostesses – no men in those days! – strapped themselves into their seats
and assumed the crash position. Is it any wonder I hate flying?
The nearest airport to our resort was in
Bulgaria and crossing the border during the night was quite an experience,
especially for a small child. We were all marched off the bus, lined up and
surrounded by armed guards as our passports were checked. It was all a bit
scary until my dad offered his cigarettes around and suddenly everyone was
laughing and joking and we were sent on our way. I’m glad to say the rest of
the holiday was uneventful and we had a lovely time.
Favourite
summer drink and why?
Anything cold, bubbly and – obviously -
fermented!
Poolside
or beach for soaking up the sun rays and favourite place?
Oh, poolside, definitely! Beaches are
for walking, for thinking and for creating, not for lying on. Water, sun-screen
and sand do NOT make a good combination.
My favourite place, oh, that’s a hard
one. Basically I am happy if I’m close enough to the sea to smell it, watch it,
hear it and walk the beach.
