10.  Ideal vacation ?   Last year we stayed at my in-laws’ beach house for two weeks, without my in-laws being there. That was a dream vacation - we sat on the beach all day, no one there to complain we were late to lunch or dinner, no one dictating what we watched on TV. I would do that again

11.  Camping or 5 star hotel ?  NEVER EVER CAMPING EVER NOT EVEN GLAMPING. blergh.

18.  What is your guilty pleasure ?  (Can't be an answer already given...)  Kindle Unlimited - I am always, always reading. I use the kindle app on my phone and I will download a new book as soon as I finish the previous one. Kindle Unlimited makes me feel somewhat less guilty.

19.  Who is your celebrity crush ?   I don’t have one, probably because I rarely watch TV or movies. 

20.  Tell us something we don't know that you would like people to know about you ......   I grew up in Oxford, Mississippi and now I live in Oxford, England. My husband loves to tell people that I’m from Oxford - and boy are they surprised when I open my mouth and an American accent comes out. Although after seven years in England, I’m sounding more and more like Madonna. You really can’t help it when you hear Brit-speak all day, everyday. My kids have perfect British schoolgirl accents.
