My step granddaughter shares a birthday with her grandmother.
One parent, one sibling. Not sure how rare it is, presumably quite!
Great name, and that’s so cool to be born on the winter solstice. I love the dark nights and that time of year. There, that will have to do as a fact for me!
Maybe we are triplets, separated at birth ...although that will only work if they are siblings...
You share a birthday with two members of my immediate family.
Forget to take a photo earlier of a house being partly demolished and being rebuilt.
My Mum photographed sunsets for a time :)
Enchanted- perfect word for how that book makes me feel as well. I've read it so many times, it still enchants me :)
I wish my garden was as enchanting...
The Secret Garden
I read that as a child and was enchanted by it.
Ever since, I've wanted a walled garden but I only succeeded in having a 1/4 walled garden.
However, visiting walled gardens at stately homes always reminds me of that novel.
I enjoy sunrise, sunsets, flowers, old buildings and general.
Hi!
Big birthdays are exciting means a new chapter to your life.
What photography do you enjoy?
Yes you're right! Meaning is bee which is lovely. The meaning of my name is birthday and it's commonly given around Christmas which is true for me :)
I'll let you know how it goes. I've only just started but I know it's going to be great.
One of the best books I've read is The Secret Garden. I couldn't put it down once I started it.
Thank you.
I think I read a long time ago that Debra means 'bee' which is appropriate as I love bees.
That favourite book would take a lot of thought from me as I've read so many.
I saw Carrie when it 1st came out at the cinema.
There's one scene where I literally jumped off my seat but I can't tell you until you have read it.
Enjoy
Hi Debra, you have a beautiful name :)
I love to read as well. Do you have a fave book? I'm reading Carrie by Stephen King at the moment.
Welcome.
Nice idea for a thread.
I thought I'd follow your own format, so.
Name: Debra
1. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 60 years old.
2. I am losing the sight in my right eye through dry macular degeneration but have always been acutely myopic and have had cataract surgery.
3. I was born February 8th.
4. My interests vary from time to time, so I don't think I necessarily have one long-lasting 'special' interest, which I have read is often the case with females.
However, my most persistent interests are reading and photography.
5. I don't own many books now as I gave them to a book shop.
Most of my novels are on kindle.
However, I have thousands of photographs, which I am slowly working through and deleting.
