1. What is your cultural heritage, and is it a part of your life (eg. do you celebrate your cultural holidays, or have special traditions or food that comes from your heritage)?
Yes, I am very aware of my heritage, I am a First Fleeter, meaning ancestors arrived on the First Fleet from Great Britain to settle Australia in 1788 on my paternal side. I have traced back to the 1800s on my maternal side, and they were born in Australia too. I belong to the Fellowship of First Fleeters and we meet every two months, and I also belong to my namesake Association. Australia Day is a special day to remember them.
2. Give a short description of your vision for your blog. I participate in Memes and occasionaly write what I am thinking about at the time. I have a lot of photos especially scenery. I wish to communicate and get to know some lovely new people. I believe I have acknowledged almost every comment either by email, or by leaving a comment on their page.
3. What is one thing you are really enjoying about spring? We are going into Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Here at our latitude we often only have about two weeks of Spring then its into Summer.
4. Do you have an idea to share about something we could do today to bless our husbands/boyfriends to let them know they're special? I often do little things he doesn't expect or bring home a little surprise when I shop, his favourite chocolate biscuits etc. The big one was a birthday party that about 90 people attended.
5. Are you involved in any social club (garden club, dinner club, book club, etc.) - or would you like to be? I am totally satisfied with what I participate in, we have our own singing group that entertains at 8-10 Aged Care homes a month. I lead a walking group, go to exercise, participate at Church and a Bible Study, and in the community, as well as seeing friends, entertaining and having time away occasionally in our small RV, and along with Hubby, maintaining my home and garden, and of course my Blogspot and Facebook.

What a lovely life, Jan! I am also fascinated by your geneology. That is a passion of mine...just imagining what life must have been like for those first settlers of Australia. Have a terrific day.
Getting to know you better, and this is very cool thanks for sharing you with us. Hugs Barbara
